Early pink rhododendron
One of my neighbors has a rhodie that is the first to bloom in the area. Mid-February and showing flowers! How thoughtful of them to provide such cheeriness to people walking by.

Wow…that is really early for a rhododendron. I am hoping mine does well this year…it was looking pretty bad in the fall!

I love rhododendrons and this photo reminds me of their beauty and wonderful tones. I can’t wait for mine to begin blooming.
