Without trying to sound un-Christian..
I covet you green thumb, and your Rhodies !
Absolutely beautiful
and the fact that you have such beautiful birds at you feeder , makes me want to relocate !
Many gardeners don't realize the care and feeding of an 'understory plant' which prefers a woodland acidic environment.
Congratulations to you and Mrs. tubebender !!

Thanks for the pics. I love Rhodies. We planted a bunch in our front yard, but not a single one survived. So far, everything we have tried in the front yard just dies, except for some clover and grass.

It is really lousy soil-we may just do some hardscape with rocks and gravel and stick a few flower pots here and there. The back yard has plenty to keep us busy anyway.
