I'm going to go out and stick my nose in those dangling blooms once I'm done telling you how much I enjoyed your post.<br /><br />:)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405130527528825644.post-43108953771384065792010-05-20T09:44:36.051-07:002010-05-20T09:44:36.051-07:00Flora, I was on a drive the other day on Whidbey I...Flora, I was on a drive the other day on Whidbey Island and saw many wild Rhodies. Their size in the wild always amazes me. The fact that we have these gorgeous and large blooms makes me feel privileged to live here.

My Mom's Lilacs have just moved from the outside to a vase inside her house. She is now enjoying that incredible smell in her kitchen.

The ones here seem to have more variety, and I fell in love with the Pieris here too, I don't recall ever seeing it back East.<br /><br />My big revelation when I moved to Oregon was the size of the rhododendrons. In New England all we had were scrappy little bushes that that shivered through the winters barely alive. Here they have the kind that get to be trees - BIG trees! I will never forget my astonishment the first time I saw one of these in bloom, with huge trusses of purple flowers. It was taller than the house it grew beside. I thought I was in the land of Oz!Florahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510346346502906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405130527528825644.post-27173184083523697612010-05-19T11:02:33.818-07:002010-05-19T11:02:33.818-07:00Thank you all for reading.
