Let the Blooming Begin
Today for Eye Candy Friday I present the first of the Rhododendron blooms in my yard. This riot of color starts usually around Easter (very late this year!) and ends when we get sustained rains to melt the blooms.
I did not plant these 32 Rhododendron, they were here when we moved in 17 years ago. I’ve just been the keeper, triming when needed, not watering or fertilizing and not even pulling off the wilted blooms. Basically I let them be and they provide a wonderful show every spring. I will miss this if we move.
