Rhododendron in the Park

We DO love seeing the Rhododendrons in bloom. I know it is early April, but they are starting. I remember May to be the season for Rhododendrons, but we will take them whenever they bloom.
Have I ever told you that we used Rhododendron blooms for our bridal bouquets back in 1975? It's true. I got married in the Botanical Garden in Norfolk, and we had permission to cut Rhodies for our bouquets. I thought they were the most fabulous natural bouquets. Just look at them! Don't they look like bridal bouquets? Perfect for May. I guess if it had been July, we would have used Hydrangeas. ;)
I hope you have Rhodies where you live, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
HAPPY SPRING!!!
