Alien Life Form

We saw so many beautiful flowering plants at Lewis Ginter, I don’t even remember what this is, although I do recall my friend’s observation that it looked like an artichoke.

Pretty and unusual (at least to me)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The leaves and bud remind me of a rhododendron- perhaps it's a hybrid of some sort. Pretty shot.

[Yao RL]

Very pretty.

[Kathy A]

Its lovely. According to my phone it's a rhododendron

[Phil Howcroft]

the leaves are very rhododendron

[Dorothy]

Pretty sure it’s a rhododendron bud.
