Blue Baron Rhododendron in Bloom

A few years ago we planted a Blue Baron rhododendron to add to our color collection of rhododendron and azalea that are around the house and yard. We had every other color so the bluish color was a nice addition. The plant is still very small after a few years – I’m not sure if it likes where we planted it. This year it was full of blooms that look very blue but the camera sees them with a more purple cast.

Kwanzan Cherry Blossoms

Last year we had a Kwanzan Cherry tree planted (in place of the old pine that we had removed) and with the unseasonably warm temperatures we’ve had of late, the blossoms are beginning to pop open. I can’t wait until the tree is in full bloom. Here are pictures of some of the blossoms so you can share in the beauty!
