Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-
Photographed in natural light...

As I was walking through the park early in the morning I spotted a Rhododendron shrub in the shade, and as I approached there were just a few blooms that were basking in the morning filtered sunlight. Spring/Summer, Reno, Nevada 321

Rhododendron maximum is an evergreen shrub, the leaves are 3-8 in long and 0.75-1.5 in broad. The flowers are 1 in diameter, white, pink or pale purple, often with small greenish-yellow spots. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous small seeds. The leaves can be poisonous. Leaves are sclerophyllous, simple, alternate, and oblong. It retains its waxy, deep-green leaves for up to 8 years, but once shed are slow to decompose. It produces large, showy, white, pink and purple flowers around June.
