Rhody’s rhodies have been blooming spectacularly. It is not easy to limit their picture to only six. There are so many cultivars.
1. White is generally my favorite color. However, most white rhododendrons are blushed with another color, so are not pure white. This one usually exhibits a bit of a pink blush.
2. Pink is the most common color among rhododendron cultivars. That certainly can not discredit any of them. They all are pretty. This cultivar eventually fades almost to white.
3. Lavender is one of the lesser common colors among rhododendron cultivars. Purple is more common. I may get a picture of a purple rhododendron for Sunday Best tomorrow.
4. Fuchsia is one of the many colors that many guys can not perceive. This looks pink to me. I guess it is slightly richer pink than the other pink rhododendron, but only slightly.
5. Magenta is another color that many guys have difficulty perceiving. I can merely guess that this is magenta because it resembles the rich color of ‘Barbara Karst’ bougainvillea.
6. Red is an easier color, although Rhody can perceive it no better than pink, magenta or fuchsia. As a canine, he sees just blue and yellow. Regardless, these are Rhody’s rhodies.

You’re showing off a number of very pretty rhododendrons; you too will see that in my Sos post, I’ve included a selection of azaleas and rhododendrons from my garden right now.

The most interesting detail to me is the way the speckles in the flower’s throat become yellow in the lavender flower, rather than the pinks that show up in all the others.

That lavender rhododendron is an odd one in regard to its color. I can not determine if it is more blue or more pink. It performs splendidly regardless.

Absolutely scrumptious all of them, but the first one is my favourite.

Nice choice! I like it more in pictures, as it has more of a blush than pictures show.

Lovely! One of my favorite life experiences was going to the Bohemian Club’s lovely redwood grove. There were many native rhododendrons and azaleas blooming under the giant trees. A college classmate’s father was a member of the branch that includes entertainers and they put on a family day event when family members come to the grove for a day of eating and being entertained by the members.

The Bohemian Club is in a region where the native rhododendrons are most spectacular. Two of such species are native here, but they are not as impressive.

They are all gorgeous. I do love that deep magenta. I think they look best when all the different colours are in one area and can be viewed together. When I was younger we often stopped at the grounds of Sandringham House (one of the royal family’s homes in the east of England) on our way to the coast, where you can drive through the extensive parklands and view their magnificent rhododendrons growing under ancient deciduous trees.

Ours are impressive for California (because they do not perform so well in most of California), but nothing like those within European gardens. Most of ours are confined to an area that is likely less than a quarter acre.
