Aren't they gorgeous
I didn't realize how much I missed them

can you grow rhodys
Hey there my friend. Beautiful flowers. And no, I don't think Rhodies grow here in Utah. I am not going to tackle spelling the real name. . .! Your pictures are beautiful. So glad you stopped by my blog and left a sweet comment. Hope to hear from you again. Hugs, Karie
ReplyDeleteOh I think I'm going to have to add some Rhodies to my garden! Thanks for sharing :D
ReplyDeleteI can barely even say Rhodies, let alone spell it. They are gorgeous Kathy! Your neighborhood is looking so plush and green.
ReplyDeleteThose are very pretty. I don't have any in our yard, but we see them in the North Ga. mountains when we drive through.
ReplyDeleteWe have them here in the "Armpit of Hell" also, only we can't grow them in our yard. The neighbors across the street have them though. They have to be facing the north up agains the house! Looks like they are in full bloom still.
ReplyDeleteI have over a dozen rhodies plus a bunch of azaleas too - we lived in Eastern Wa. for a while and I so missed them...glad to be back in Western Washington because they are awesome shrubs.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week ~ visiting from "Wow Us" Wednesday :O)
Hugs,
Marie
I love your "rhodies". I doubt we can grow them in deep south Texas with the heat and high winds, but I would love to try. They're beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment.
Have a great day!

We can grow them up here - and they grow beautifully! They're something we take for granted, I guess, until we're someplace where they don't grow at all. Mine are in about mid-bloom right now and I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, my family had a mountain house in Western North Carolina. The yard was full of rhodies. Beautiful for sure. But alas, living in South Florida doesn't afford me the zone to have any in my life. Oh well....content with my tropicals.:)
ReplyDeleteAll of the Rhodies in your neighborhood are gorgeous!!! The pacific northwest is said to be gorgeous, and your pictures show it!!
ReplyDeleteAND, I forgot to thank you about the "getting pictures bigger on my blog" thing!!
I did what you said!! I didn't know that is what the sizes that pop up meant!! You are a genius!!
