Rhododendrons a couple of days ago

Having a hard time getting a decent shot. The shrub is located in a nearly inaccessible part of the yard. By this time next year, the rhodie will have more room after I cut back some overgrown shrubs nearby.

in both fashion and flowers (and home decor for that matter). Just makes me happy, and reminds me of a quote from the designer Isaac Mizrahi: Color is the greatest luxury.

I live in an ALP in The Bronx, that surprising has a back yard full.of nice trees 🥰

It's also part of a super block so there is a long garden south of us with other surrounding buildings.

It's been too rainy here the past 3 weeks, but finally sunny yesterday! They have less trees overall, but more flowers at times. We have only a bit, and they're actually closer to the other 2 buildings next to us.

Anyway, their rhododendrons that are in the northern-most part of the garden south of us are up. Not too many; 3 moderate size bushes, but a beautiful, bright yellow-orange!
Took phone pics!
