Korean Rhododendron
6 years ago
This shrub was planted in front of a Victorian House several decades ago. It is noticeable every year around this time. Those rosey/magenta flowers on leafless stems are hard to miss. It must be Rhod.mucronulatum. This one is about 7' tall. I bless the owners for not shearing and meatballing this shrub. One itsy bity issue which happens occasionally, if a cold front moves in next week and we get freezing temps, all the flowers will get zapped. Location: Maryland
