The Rhodo Starts To Bloom

This was yesterday. The Rhododendrun is starting to bloom. This plant is 25 years old, never liked the front of the house, and doesn't seem to like the side yard either. About five years ago, I moved it to near the pine bed, thinking it would like the acid of the pine needles.
It remains about the size of a ten gallon plant can. The neighbors have been able to start their plants at the same time I did and theirs reach their garage eves!
Perhaps it is the slower growth version of those gargantuan cousins. Still pretty this time of year. And the Iris are blooming. More on that tomorrow.
