First Post of the Year: A Winter-Flowering Rhododendron

Pin It

Celebrating mid-winter with the first Rhodie blooms of the year.

On February 3rd, a rather ragged-looking swallow buzzed the eaves of our house where they come, usually later, to build their nests.
This is terribly early for the swallows to arrive and I worry how they will do when winter settles in again.
Right now we're having very un-February like weather:  Sun, heat, dry.

Spring Rhodie

Trumpeting Spring!  Sweetly scented, too. That's all.

Spring 2011 - Pink Rhododendron

Pin It


[Ed. note: This photo, taken in spring of 2011, was left in my drafts folder with the text you see below; I don't know why I didn't post it. So I'm doing it now - just as I left it.]

All the Rhododendrons in my garden have bloomed.  A few, such as this one, basked in the fleeting sun of last week.  Others bloomed over the weekend in the rain. Still others bloomed back in February and are pretty much spent.

2011 wasn't one of the more stellar springs for the Rhodies in my garden, there being too much rain, hail, and cold.
