Here is another plant on our property that is blooming now that I
like. It may be a bit late for most rhododendron, but this guy is in
pretty deep shade from a red maple. It is right by our walkway where
you can get a close look. I really like the "freckles" and the flower
cluster is a nice pine-cone shape.
