There are many different varieties of Rhododendron (over 1,000 in fact) and the flowers are really quite beautiful, with vibrant colours and delicate petals. Although they are actually native to Asia, and the national plant of Nepal since their introduction to the UK they have run wild, to the extent that in many parks and gardens they are being removed because they impede the growth of many of our native plants and shrubs.
When they are in bloom they add a really nice splash of colour and the pictures above show the development of the flower from bud to blossom (obviously working up the page) and I am sure you will agree it's quite lovely.
