As I wrote earlier, our Rhododendron is now in full bloom. When I looked in Wikipedia, I learned that the name comes from "the Greek: ροδον, rodon, meaning "rose", and δενδρον, dendron, meaning "tree". It is a large genus with over 1000 species and most have showy flower displays. It includes the plants known to gardeners as azaleas. It is the national flower of Nepal, the State flower of Sikkim, India and the State Flower of both West Virginia and Washington in the USA."
