Rhododendrons

I promised you some rhododendrons so here they are together with some Japanese azaleas

I particularly like the second to last.  I always said I didn’t like purple/mauve rhododendrons but I do like this one.

The one below is in the bit of garden by the lane that runs past our house.  Yesterday I was there tidying a bit when a quad bike pulled up to admire it and coincidentally a pair of walkers where also passing (all carefully ensuring we kept the required distance as we are still in partial lockdown).

So to cries of, il est beau, they went on their way.  Today, two quad bikes pulled up.  The one from yesterday and some friends.  How many tomorrow one wonders!  Mais
il est vraiment beau!
