Rhododendron for @Sue Wilde

This flowering bush may be why I now can appreciate pink, outside, against a blue sky or yellow flowers but hated that color most of my life because my older cousin loved it, and I got her hand me downs.

They are beautiful. Ours haven't bloomed yet.

[Dixie Goode]

@mittens thank you. Mine are always earlier than the rest of the neighborhood

[Maggiemae]

These flowers petals almost look like skirts! They have wonderful colour and lots of frills!

[Dixie Goode]

@maggiemae funny you say that because tomorrow there will be lots of cinco de mayo dancing in the skirts these remind me of

[Anne ❀]

[carol white]

Lovely shot, very pretty blossom

[Francoise]

I don't think pink is your color... Sue certainly had gorgeous pinks in profusion, didn't she.

[Dixie Goode]

@francoise yeah she did, what a sorrow it was to see the news.

[Hazel]

Lovely depth of colour. Strange how stuff from our childhood affects us.

[Camille Bisson]

oh, Dixie, what a beautiful and thoughtful photo to post. can see why you would not enjoy pink as a child, not really your best color, but these are stunning. mine won't even think of blooming for a long time yet.
