It won't be too long.
It won't be too long.
I was actually starting to worry, though I'm certain I'm just being impatient.It won't be too long.
That pot is huge!!
When we were stationed out there while I was in the Coast Guard the rhodies made my ex soooo angry. She couldn't wrap her head around the beautiful colors of the flowers contrasting to the cold and cloudy. She hated them for it.Spring has finally begun to arrive in the Puget Sound area! The early spring Rhododendron has begun to bloom!

Of course this means watch out for late snowstorms!

Seems like mine surprises me when I least expect it. Buds look tightly closed, then I'll smell something nice and see a bloom opened up!I was actually starting to worry, though I'm certain I'm just being impatient.

I think it'd be way to hot in the summer here for them or I'd try them out.
I'll keep waiting then. Not like I would've done otherwise, but now it won't be so angsty.Seems like mine surprises me when I least expect it. Buds look tightly closed, then I'll smell something nice and see a bloom opened up!
Well I'm glad I got to see it. I fully understand why so many people feel it's god's own country. Though I personally don't know what I'd do without a sunburn every other week for three months.Yeah, I did three tours here, ship and shore, so afterwards when all the moving hither and yon was done we decided to settle down here.

No wonder that's you ex.rhodies made my ex soooo angry
Well, it was indicative of the issues that eventually got the better of us, so yeah.No wonder that's you ex.![]()
They brighten up my very dull office. Plus being the only woman here with 9 guys, this place needs a feminine touch!!Carol .....Queen of the phals!!

Keep it up. I’m sure they appreciate the touch of color and your sense of humor . Phals don’t like me. I need to ignore them more.They brighten up my very dull office. Plus being the only woman here with 9 guys, this place needs a feminine touch!!
No worries, I'm neither. We're all just co-workers/friends. They are a little bit protective, which is kind of nice.It's either you're a Princess, or a victim : don't let the "9 guys" take over ! Be yourself, and be strong, ever.
I battled mealy bugs for months, I think I finally have them beat, although I lost a couple. So, I'm happy a few are blooming.Phals don’t like me. I need to ignore them more.
