Rhododendron

Where is this year going, already it seems as if it is flying by. I just can’t believe we are now in March.

Today’s flower of the day is the gorgeous pink rhododendron. Pink rhododendron blooms in the summer amongst the beautiful green foliage of its plant. This flower has been known to bring comfort, peace and serenity to the eye of the beholder. It’s perfect for a gift or to give to someone special.

For my first flower of the day for the start of March, I wanted to start off by going with a classic, the Rhododendron. This flower, part of the Ericaceae family, is such an eye-catching beauty with its bright colors and blooming petals. As a symbol of joy, spirit, and enthusiasm, the Rhododendron is the perfect flower to start off the month with. It’s known for its hardiness and resilience so let’s start off the month in the same fashion!

Many gardens are filled with bushes of rhododendrons for their sheer beauty. Personally speaking, I don’t think I’ve ever visited national gardens that do not have the beautiful rhododendron within their garden landscaping.

Processing this image was carried out in Lightroom and Topaz Studio 2. In the topaz software, I used the default filter in the Impressionistic filters. And used the amount slider to decrease the pain effect.

And thought this image is perfect for Cee’s Flower of the Day Photography Challenge.

Happy March everyone! Have a great Wednesday!!
