Those are Rhodies(I cannot spell the real whole name...its something like Rhododendron)...They are beautiful and come in a whole range of colors...actually the Rhodies are related to Azaleas...I have two different pink Rhodies outside my computer room window, and a large deep purple rhodie outside the front room window...further out in the yard, I have a medium size red Rhodie...

The man next door to me has about 20 small Rhodie bushes all over his front yard...its just beautiful...

Rhodies vary in size from dwarf bushes, just a few inches tall, to Rhodies that I have seen in northern California, that are a about a hundred feet tall, and hang over the roads in the spring..

Rhodies sure make it lovely in the spring...

hi andysmom
I've come across their official name in Agatha Christie books
I never knew their nickname
I had no idea what they looked like
they are such soft big blossoms, in pretty shade
from what you say they come in all tints of pink and red
it must be lovely havin' them round your home
