Rhododendron season #florespondence #bloomscrolling

Macro photo of a cluster of bubblegum pink rhododendron flowers which are just opening. The blue sky and wispy clouds are visible in the background, as are more flower clusters.

I'm reasonably well read but there's no way I automatically know what all y'all's acronyms mean. So, a request:

If you're including a niche acronym in your post, kindly spell out what the letters stand for at least once in the post. Give us a clue so we know if we want to click your link. TYSMIRJWTUYP!

*ThankYouSoMuchIReallyJustWantToUnderstandYourPost

Here, have some pretty flowers

This color photo shows bunches of pink and white blossoms on a tree. There are several shown in closeup, with variegated petals and yellow stamens in their centers. The photo looks up into the tree and in the background are many more blossoms, a few brown branches and glimpses of a bright blue sunny sky.

A small garden gnome stands at the corner of a natural stone step. He is wearing a red pointed cap, a green shirt and brown trousers. He is holding a yellow flower in his hands. Leaves and blossoms of wild strawberries grow above him.

Ein kleiner Gartenzwerg steht im Winkel einer Treppenstufe aus Naturstein. Er trägt eine rote Zipfelmütze, ein grünes Hemd und braune Hosen. In seinen Händen hält er eine gelbe Blume. Über ihm wachsen Blätter und Blüten von Walderdbeeren.

Cistus ‘Elma’ popping this morning, in its 3rd spring. I didn’t have the right place to plant it in the ground and opted for a large pot. Zone 8.
Because it’s in a pot, I wrap it up in winter so it’s protected from the Gorge Winds.

A white flower is highlighted above green foliage, with other flowers and buds visible among the leaves. The flower has crinkly petals and an orange/yellow center, giving it a similar appearance to a fried egg.

A hellebore (flower). It is yellow with maroon splotches. The middle looks like squid tentacles. A very interesting flower.

Two globular white flower heads with yellow centers are seen in front of the thin green foliage of the plant.

Running late for #WildflowerWednesday lol I had said these were the very first non-tree wildflowers of the year, but found another contender yesterday (still have to edit those!,stay tuned!)
Shepherdia canadensis Buffaloberry; super tiny flowers on a mid size, open branched, nitrogen fixing shrub. Tasty bitter berries used by native peoples and much loved by birds!

Against a blurred dark grey background, a close view of a narrow rain darkened branch, finely nubbly scaly, which angles across the view from lower right to mid left . Two tiny twigs project near the centre with mounds of tiny flowers and ball like scaly buds with leaves beginning to emerge from the tips as well, at this stage they are also brown/scaly, no green showing yet. Flowers are light golden green with fully recurved petals(?)like tiny starfish, and a puff of upright tiny pale stamens with balls of pollen on narrow stems.

Against a blurred reddish grey background, a close view of a narrow rain darkened branch, finely nubbly scaly, which angles across the view from lower right to upper left . Along the stem several tiny twigs project with several or more tiny flowers and a few new leaves beginning to emerge from the tips as well, at this stage they are also brown/scaly, no green showing yet. Flowers are light golden green with slightly textured and faintly red lined edges to the petals(?).Female flowers like these show a single pistil in the centre. In this view the flowers are presumably a bit older, so the pistils are a bit elongated and angled at the tip, projecting conspicuously from the flat/recurved stars.

Two *really* tiny 4 point star flowers and a scaly brown bud emerge from a grey scaly narrow upright branch/stem. In the blurred background several short twigs emerge from the same main stem with many flowers and buds, Flowers are light golden green with slightly textured and faintly red lined edges to the petals(?).Female flowers like these show a single pistil in the centre.

Photo aus Untersicht: Zwei Bäume, die sich einander zuneigen als ob sie ein Gespräch beginnen würden. Ihre Äste scheinen sich zu berühren. Die noch unbelaubten Bäume stehen vor strahlend blauem Himmel mit ein paar weißen Wölkchen.

Photo from below: Two trees leaning towards each other as if they were about to start a conversation. Their branches seem to be touching. The trees, still without leaves, stand in front of a bright blue sky with a few white clouds.

We planted this lilac two years ago and this is the first year it's flowering. This variety ("President Lincoln") has pink buds that open into almost-blue flowers, and smells heavenly.
