Beautiful surprise

I was amazed to find a Rhododendron hidden under ivy and other vines in my backyard when we moved here in 2003.  I had always thought of Rhododendron as needing cooler temps than Eastern North Carolina provides.  But this one has done well under the shade of tall pines, and I was exited to see the beautiful blooms begin to appear this weekend.
