My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

So are you going to deadhead all the Rhodies in your neighborhood? I've always heard that the plant will have more and better blooms the next year if it's deadheaded this year. I think it's your civic duty, frankly. This is another fine shot of another beautiful blossom, Tara. A fine way to end the series.

It has been a wonderful series Tara. I got a kick out of Cosine's comment. Your civic duty after lurking throughout the neighborhood stealing captures of Rhodies. You are now officially on deadhead patrol....oh no, that just lead me down a completely different path...LOL Loved all these Rhodies my dear, you did them justice :)

Such a wonderful flower and we have had no luck with ours this year - it never even tried to blossom (something to do with the clay in our soil perhaps!!?) You are very knowledgeable on such things and I've enjoyed this series and will look forward to the next with anticipation. Great colours on this final bloom. xx

I would say this is your best rhododendron as there are no direct highlights only wonderful graydations of light, allowing the rhododendron to sine in all its glory. Thank you for sharing. egmont
