A Rhododendron..............

..........flowering before Christmas!!!

I know this is an early variety but it really shouldn't be flowering before February. Last year I posted a picture of it on the 28th December. I thought that was early. This year it's a week earlier than that. This can't be right.

Wonderful color and shape to your rhododendron flower! It does seem rather early to see one of these ...They won't be blooming until March in my area, so for now I will fav yours and enjoy looking at it while my weather is cold.
