Gorgeous colours and lovely photos 🙂 I love rhododendrons and azaleas and think they bring lovely colour to our gardens, parks and public spaces but sadly other people think the opposite and get rid of them because they aren’t native to the UK and can be invasive.
There’s a lovely Japanese garden and lake set in what was once a private estate near here, it was greatly enhanced by the rhodies and looked beautiful but the trust which now manages it decided to cut them all down a while ago, so the place has lost all its colour and looks nowhere near as lovely as it once did 🙁
Glad you enjoyed the pics. What a shame the rhododendrons were all cut down in that estate. What were they thinking? Makes no sense.
These are nice. Freakin’deer ate most of mine because I did not leave a fence around them over winter.
What a shame. I hear deer will eat almost anything.
Awesome spring scenes.
Thanks. It is a lovely garden.
Sherry you bring the delicate magic of azaleas and rhododendrons to us in your brilliant photography, and what a treat it is. Thanks for sharing this marvel of nature with us.
Thanks you so much Jet. The colors of the flowers were exhilarating. They did a lovely job landscaping.
Beautiful and colorful spring flowers.
Yes indeed 🙂
They’re so pretty, and quite a reminder of the difference latitude can make. Ours have bloomed, and now are mostly gone.
Thanks. It has been a cold Spring in many countries.
