It’s early June in Maine and that means rhododendrons.
.
.
For a pure burst of color they’re hard to beat.
.
.
And I’m not the only one who loves them.
.
.
Dozens of big beautiful bumblebees happily sip nectar.

It’s a lovely time of year.
.
Cue the color.
River's world..... 
One of my roses bloomed this morning. A flower about the size of my thumbnail.

They are beautiful! We had rhododendrons in Washington state, where I grew up.

I realized Jacarandas are in fullbloom here. They’re pretty, but the flowers can wreck car paint and generally create a mess.

Whenever I think autumn has the best colors, I see photos like this and am reminded that spring ain’t no slouch either.

If I remember correctly, these are the ones that got chopped when installing the porch railing? Yes?

Yes. They were hacked from the back, but the fronts still look good.
