pale pink beauties


I see this flower  a lot in the public gardens we haunt but have never found a name. I'm hoping my bloggy friends can help with that. :)  I was originally convinced that these are NOT rhodos because they are short and bushy-looking and are in a particular sheltered part of Pukeiti Gardens--compared to the abundance of 'regular' rhodos that we see at this time of year. But with some research and all the great comments, I concede that it is a type of rhodo. Thanks, bloggy friends!

  6. This is one of a million varieties of Rhododendron! Portland, Oregon where I live is famous for our magnificent "Rhodies." They can get very big here, they love plenty of water and sun. BTW the leaf is a give-away....

  9. They look like our Rhododendrons. It is a very big evergreen shrub verging on a tree. It's lovely to see your spring photos, our Rhodies wont be blooming for quite a while. There are lots of different colors.

  11. Drives me nuts in a public garden when they have all those little signs in front of the beautiful blooms (and I'm trying to get a good picture). But there's a good reason for those signs. Hope somebody can help. It is a beautiful flower.
