I have a beef with the inventors of rhododendrons. If you don't want to hear my beef, please pass over this post!
Rhododendrons are absolutely stunning...one week a year. This happens to be the week the rhodies in back of my house are in bloom. I missed the rhodies blooming in front of my house when I was on the mission field.
Since the bloom is such a rare occasion, I wanted to share them with you all!
I am tempted to yank those things out and plant palm trees or big leaved banana trees. But then, they may die because of our short span of sun.

Melinda,
you are to funny. I'm the same way about rhodies they look good for a week then gravity sets in and it's a big mess. They do sell plastic rhododendrons. Just think you can have a blooming rhododendron on Christmas right next to the inflatable snowman and giant Rudolph. Just kidding but I really do feel your pain.

Hello Pastor Mel -
I agree. They are absolutely beautiful when they are in bloom, but gosh why such a short time?! When I was younger and lived Woodinville my parents had 4 or 5 Rhododendron bushes. They were all different colors too! What a beautiful site that 1 or 2 weeks of the year! I guess, take lots of pictures to hang on your walls, so you can see them all year...;)
