The Deep Pink rhododendron

There had been rain overnight making it too muddy to continue with my cave-making down by the pond, so between showers today I went on a welly wander turning first left out of the back door and then right to go up the back garden. The rhododendron that I call The Deep Pink is dropping its flowers now. I like their carpeting effect.

In amongst the fallen flowers are a few bluebell plants, nowhere near flowering yet on the Boggy Brae. Something to look forward to.

What's left when the flowers fall
