A new rhododendron...

Its one of our prettiest and coming out of its hibernation quite slowly! Our new Gardener pruned these rhod0s quite severely and said they will be better on flowering. I did read that some plants should be pruned so birds can fly through!
Thankful for:
A cold spring day where a warming fire brought warmth and comfort into our day!

Lovely capture. The flowers are coming up very nicely. I agree with your gardener - most bushes and trees are like that.

[Dianne]

I love the subtle shade of pink through the flowers.

It does look beautiful. A drastic prune on bushes works well.

Good to know about the pruning…I have never pruned a rhododendron so will look that up as we have a couple here. It’s certainly a very pretty example! A fire is always good!

@happypat I think we have at least 12 rhodos in the garden and he only pruned four, Pat.

@grammyn Almost as good as ' cold spring water' sounds, Katy!
