The first of the rhododendron's in bloom. When I planted them last year, there were just a few blooms on the plants I bought. So it is only now that I have seen what type of flowers I have. Fortunately their blooms are not at the same time.
Another of the rhododendrons along the back fence. This is just to the right of the one above. These are the only flowers which this plant produced. The other growth on the top of the plant turned out to be new leaves. Growth rather than show for this plant.
This is the rhododendron on the western end of the back fence. It has been about the longest flowering of them all.
I have finally bought a barbeque! Only took 10 years. Now for the patio furniture. Not that it's needed here before July 5th, when summer really starts.
