I love that rhododendrons are weeds to some and prized possessions to others. Seems to be lot each of us has inherited. When they bloom each May, I realize all over again that if you're beautiful, you're beautiful. That's all there is to it without any help or explanation. And if you're not, that's all there is to it. But I am comforted and pleased that so much in this world is beautiful.

Lovely picture. I never know the distinction between weed and flowers. Some weeds are so beautiful. I love dandelions.
This is beautiful. I never knew some considered these weeds. Really? That's sad!
Oh so pretty! I just got a wonderful pic of these beauties, about a week ago.Now to find some lilacs before they are gone.
Thanks for sharing so much beauty at all your blogs Sandy. You are an inspiration!
Hugs, G

So pretty. I'm visiting a garden in Oregon in about three weeks that is a Rhodadendron Garden. Can't wait. Some people consider these weeds???? How perfectly strange.
Another blogger posted about rhododendrons today. I'll tell you what I told her. I love the sound of "rhododendron," but somehow it sounds kind of hard for something that looks so delicate.
But they do have a toughness, don't they? And yes, there's beauty in that. Real beauty.
I went to the Planting Fields on Long Island this week, Sandy. Got lots of beautiful shots of Rhodos! They are beautiful and so is your photo! :)
This beauty reminds me of raspberry sorbet! Lovely!
it is beautiful especially up close.
Rhodies cover the NC mountains like a blanket, but I've never heard anyone refer to them as weeds.
And you, Sandy, are beautiful any time of year.
Thank You for the beautiful post Beautiful!
I love rhododendrons and this is such a beautiful closeup.
Lovely flower and i can agree to your thoughts about beautiful. :)
Have a great week ahead, SAndy!
Mine is now up....from the beautiful Philippines!
Just awesome!
love them... beautiful pic!
For a beautiful flower like this, I wonder why it is classified as weeds. Sharp macro and I love the softness of its color.
Sandy: But who is the judge of beauty? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as it is said.
Really beautiful capture and you are so right, thank goodness there is so much beautiful in this world. What would happen if there are not much? I shudder the thought:)
Have a nice week ahead.
Wonderful close-up, Sandy. I very much like the beautifully shaded color.
Have a nice weekend! Mine is up! Hope to hear from you soon!
Beautiful color!
Lovely. Weeds are also pretty.Aint they?
beautiful thoughts to go with this purple beauty.
That's really beautiful!
Nice macro shot!
lovely catch for WS.. Hope you'll visit mine too. Have a great day!
You bring out the colour beautifully.
Great closup for detail!
To me rhododendrons are too beautiful to be called weeds. I especially love its color.
That's very beautiful to be considered as weed..
love the color!
" A weed is but an unloved flower".
Love this post!
Lovely flower! Happy WS!
I have never planted one in my yard, as they are not my fave. But I have one in a front corner of the yard that is gorgeous, and I actually love it. I would never have chosen it, but there it sits in all its glory.
As wonderful and beautiful this flower is, I think there's far more beauty from the eye of this particular photographer. Great shot. :)
sweetest of photos!
I also am pleased that so much of the world is beautiful~
I love that they grow wild in your part of the country. :) And huge!
