Rhododendron Buds

The rhododendron buds were huge when we walked around Brookside Gardens recently. These were taken without benefit of any extra magnification (i.e. the loupe was not needed for these buds). I am already looking forward to seeing them open into their cluster of blooms as spring progresses.  I already have a ‘note to self’ to photography them every time I visit the gardens over the next few months.
