Himalayan Rhododendron

We planted this Himalayan Rhododendron more than 10 years ago. It took about 5 years before it had any blooms but now has stunning huge blooms. This is a day before it will be fully open.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Gorgeous light and colours. I hope it survives, the frost has done some real damage to the rhododendrons here.
