Rhodies in Volunteer Park

The rhododendrons are really gorgeous this year. The winter has been pretty mild, with plenty of water, and with the brutally cold winter the previous year, I guess the plants are breathing a sigh of relief and blooming their hearts out in gratitude. This scene in Seattle’s Volunteer Park is just one tiny slice of the magnificent display that rhodies put on for us in the Pacific Northwest.

Visit Scenic Sunday, Outdoor Wednesday, Today’s Flowers, Weekend Flowers, Floral Friday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera) and Pink Saturday to see lots of great photos from around the planet.

   Wow! Not only are those gorgeous, they are huge. I love rhododendrons.

   I have repeatedly try to grow some, but with no success. We are right on the line on two growing zones. We’ve decided to plant some in our woods, so we will be looking for some this autumn.

   Happy Pink Saturday, Sara.

    Beautiful. It’s been perfect weather for Rhodies this year but I’d sure like for it to warm up soon.

    OH MY GOODNESS…….they really are spectacular this year. Mine were huge and deelish…….and it looks like the hydrangeas are going to be super too. There really are blessings about living in the Puget Sound…… it makes the rain worth it all.

    Blessings,
    Spencer
