Our rhododendrons finally popped.

.

.

At least on the front side where my husband didn’t butcher them with the shears.

.

.

For a sheer burst of color they’re hard to beat.

.

.

And I’m not the only one who loves them.

.

.

Giant bumblebees swarm ever them all day long…

.

.

And it does my heart good to see their little legs covered in pollen.

.

.

Long live the bees!
