I swore I'd never photograph another rhododendron, but all it took was seeing one and there I was. In the running, according to the park board handout on the rhody path bloomers by month, are Rhododendron 'Beacon' (supposed to fade by mid-March, but this is a late year) and Rhododendron 'Robin Hood'.
