Growing up in PA, the rhododendrons were the show-offs of summer. My mom's rhododendron (I bought it for her in 1975) is now almost as big as her house, they're huge and all different colors in PA. I thought I'd try to capture some of the beauty of this flowering shrub that we have a hard time growing here in SC unless you live in the mountains...
