The Rhododendron is Blooming
I love this bush so much. We planted it on the corner of the front of our house a few years ago, and it is growing and thriving, and completely gorgeous right now. I love that it is one of the first things to bloom in the spring (just after my second favorite bush, the forsythia we planted in the backyard). I love that it is purple. I love the shape of the thick, textured leaves. I love looking out the window and seeing such delicate purple.
