Mountain Rhododendron

With all the rain we've been getting this year, all of the mountain wildflowers are flourishing like we haven't seen in several years. The drought has been declared officially over and the mountain rhododendron appear to be celebrating. I found this bush near the viewing area for Devil's Courthouse on the Blue Ridge Parkway. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

I learned my lesson on the last rhododendron that I tried to interpret in B&W - don't! These deserve to be left in color, so I did.
