Rhododendrons in July

All photographs were taken on July 3, 2008

We experienced a mild winter and cool spring (snow in late April), so most of the flowers were late. We never had so many blooming in July. Between the cool days, we did have four 90 degree days, and several in the 80's, but these flowers survived the heat.
