Watch Her Open...

From Bud...
 




 
To Beautiful Bloom
My Purple Rhododendrons!!
 
Now, technically, these belong to neighbor Helen.
But because they are on the property line, I consider them to be shared!

    I love it!!! Of course they are shared, but you don't have to do any maintenance on them.

    Wonderful shots of the progression of nature. I didn't know so many blossums would come from the one bud.

    Lovely! We planted some earlier this year. Doubt they will bloom this year, but we look forward to next year! Your "swan" ride looked like so much fun! So glad things are looking up at your beloved Jersey shore!
