Beginnings
Rhododendron buds are so beautiful as they slowly reveal the treasure within. This one reminds me of a water lily.
There are over 28,000 cultivars of Rhododendron in the International Rhododendron Registry held by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Most have been bred for their flowers, but a few are of garden interest because of ornamental leaves and some for ornamental bark or stems.
