I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Unusual Rhododendron
Unusual Rhododendron
For the past couple of years I have had the pleasure of tending to this Rhododendron. Its color and habit are unusual for this area. It has been doing a lot better since we have been putting up burlap protection during the winter. After we started doing that it has rewarded us with a lot of flowers. I would find the color hard to describe as the buds are almost a completely different color than the flowers. This plant gives off kind of a warm pastel glow when the sun hits it right.

quite a beauty, I guess the name is unknown.
I love Rhodies, live in Rhodie country. This specimen is stunning. The bud detail on the second photo is awesome. Do you know its name?
I don't know the cultivar name and haven't sen anything like it to match up with.
