Rhododendron in the garden

Just been out in the garden - a dull & cooler day today
They really cover a large area

Such a lovely splash of colour. They are out everywhere down here in Dorset, often lining narrow lanes.

Smashing! Love rhododendrons which is why it is such a shame that the National Trust seems to have declared war on them

Lovely shot. We can't grow them as our soil is very limey

@hillymay @eileenw @purplehaze12 Thank you my other two are smaller --the shocking pink one was earlier & is still in bloom - My newest a small deep red is only just starting to open Hazel,' It's amazing how the soil acidity/lime content affect the different plants .

@ruthmouch @cjainmd @cdonohoue Thank you all very much my garden cheers me up very much !

@eileenw Thanks Eileen , that's the best way to be --the plants decide on whether they like your soil/environment but sometimes like all of us they need a helping hand !!

Very lovely rhododendron!! I gave up on mine a couple of years ago.It was so straggly,think it must be our very heavy clay soil....not much good for growing anything!!
