Rhododendrons "Rhodies"


 


I love Rhododendrons, that I lovingly call Rhodies! A picture can say a thousand words about them. They are so beautiful blooming in the spring and stay evergreen all year long. I have seen some that were as big as trees with a blanket of blooms all over them. When they lose their blooms, you can pinch off the old bloom area, but I prefer to let nature just take its course and let it stay natural and grow. I may need to trim them back when they are too large for my yard but not now. It has been 4 years, and they are still relatively small and beautiful.

Save the Bees!

  Bee painting My daughter painted the Bee with acrylic paints, and we used it for our "Save the Bees" poster. We love Bees because we need them for pollination, especially my fruit trees. I try to set out different plants that bloom from early spring to late fall in order to attract them, as well as the hummingbirds!

Shasta Daisies

  Shasta Daisy I just love the perennial Shasta Daisies that bloom continuously in the summer and come back every year! They grow larger than some of the other varieties and seem so healthy and vibrant when surrounded by some of the other colorful flowers in the garden. I read that they are a hybrid developed as far back as 1890! I think they are very graceful and love the bright white coming off of the center which is a beautiful yellow color, not quite mustard yellow, but close!
