This picture was taken yesterday when Doris was doing her best to destroy everything. This rhododendron is tough and it will take more than Doris to destroy it. I posted a picture of the first flower on the 5th February http://365project.org/susiemc/365/2017-02-05 but now the whole bush looks spectacular. It does seems strange to have a rhododendron flowering in February, at the same time as the snowdrops (see bottom left hand corner). I hope we don't get a harsh frost because it won't like that.
@gijsje@happysnaps@beryl@snowy@judithdeacon@brennieb@merrelyn@dsp2 Thank you for your comments and fav's. We have a lot of rhododendrons in the garden but this one flowers long before the others. It usually starts flowering in February. Whoever planted it (before we were here) didn't really think it through because there's usually a frost while it's flowering and that kills the flowers. WE have to enjoy it while it lasts.
