{Balta Rhododendron in Our Garden}

On April 8 our Balta Rhododendron was very showy, with its white hose-in-hose flowers. Guess it is perfect for showing these on 'White Thursday'. This Rhododendron is very compact. Enjoy these images from our garden. We have this lovely Rhododendron close to our gazebo. Join us for a Garden Tour

  2. Sooooo beautiful. Each time you post, I think I have found my favorite. Now this one is my favorite. It is such a beautiful structure. You see something different each time you look at the blossom. I'll bet your thumb is "green" all the way up to you elbow.
    I hope your Easter is joyous. Ginger :)

  4. Haalo Mariette,
    nog ene keer!
    Wat toevallig dat je man daar geboren is! En je nu helemaal aan de andere kant van de wererd zit. Ja ik geef mijn workshop ook in een winkel/atelier in de Dorpsstraat, haha. Krijg vaak uitnodigingen van mensen om een workshop te geven bij hun. Groessen is nog mooi landelijk gelegen.

    Liefs Janny.

  6. Ich komm sooo gern zu Dir und träume! Ich glaub, ich kann die Blüten riechen und auch ein bischen den Frühlingswind! Ist immer wie im Märchen bei Dir!!!

    Ich wünsche Dir, Deinen Lieben und den Samtpfötchen ein frohes und kuscheliges Osterfest!
    Viele Eier und dass in jedem gefundenen Ei ein Wunsch auf Erfüllung wartet :O)

    Viele Knoootschies, Biene & die L-Poookze

  10. Oh wow, lieve Mariette, dieser Rhododendron sieht aus wie eine Prinzessin in einem traumhaften weißen Ballkleid!!!
    Vielen herzlichen Dank möchte ich dir auch noch sagen für deine wunderbaren Kommentare, ich freue mich immer sehr darüber! Auch sehr informativ sind sie - ich wußte zum Beispiel nicht, dass die Taj Mahal-Handwerker verstümmelt wurden, damit sie nie wieder so etwas schaffen können - schrecklich! Besichtigt (und fotografiert) haben wird das Taj Mahal übrigens am nächsten Tag - leider war es auch da noch sehr neblig, doch in meinem nächsten Reisebericht-Teil werde ich Fotos davon zeigen. (Aber das dauert ncoh ein paar Tage...)
    Ich wünsche dir und deinen Lieben wunder-wunderschöne Osterfeiertage! :o)
    Herzlichste Rostrosen-Grüße, Traude
