Beautiful Invasive Colour

The purples of this invasive plant (? rhododendron?) are so beautiful to see in the woods.

Pocketful of joy today - six mile walk in three seasons of weather, a herd of 20+ deer grazing in a field and still some bluebells!

Lovely walk in the woods

Lovely shot - it's always sad to see something lovely that you know shouldn't be there - such mixed emotions

6 miles in good weather sounds daunting and to do it with three different seasons…? I had no idea that rhododendrons were invasive. The ones that grow here are much more compact and less spindly.

It is so beautiful. Too bad it’s an invasive species. I love the way you composed this for the half and half.

I think it is a rhododendron. So similar to camellia but the leaf shape looks rhodo. Pretty half and half
