Spring is springing!

Six years ago I planted a rhododendron under the counsel of my brother-in-law, who said I had the perfect spot for one.  So I planted it, and I waited.  And I waited.  And I waited.

For six years I waited.  A rhododendron only flowers- albeit spectacularly- for a short time each spring.  And I have been waiting pretty patiently every single year.  

For...nothing.

Until.

This.

Year.

But this year, miraculously, it has buds!!

And so far it's been worth the wait.  :)
