While my personal favorite are these lavender/purple/pink ones -
(I don't know the name of the variety...)


I love them too - but wish they had a longer blooming season. They bloom for about two weeks during Feb. into March and then they’re done, but when they do bloom, they are spectacular!
I lost my rhododendron this past year - I got it as an experiment knowing I haven’t seen one growing anywhere in my area. It didn’t like our brutal summer heat even though I tried to baby it - didn’t work. I’ll enjoy them when I travel to Northern California.
