They're very pale pink rhododendrons.

Lovely yard, and wasn't the weather something else this weekend? Your landscaping looks so nice. Between the deer & my DH (and his tractor & brush hog) I can't keep much in the way of shrubbery. I do have some great forest views, though.

Nice yard. Here in Vancouver and Columbia river valley broken heat records 3 days in a row. I love heat. Only 25% humidity. Even the coast was in 80's.

Enjoy now!

Nows the best time though. All those rhodies and azaleas blooming!

It is beautiful, CeCe! Great job of mixing the different flowers and plants. They all blend so well together. Especially love the color of the geranium in the green planter box and how well it goes with others.

Thank you so much. We used to buy them all put together at the greenhouse.. and then learned how to put them together ourselves. The planter on the porch is the newest addition, bought it at a craft show. As I look closer at the photo's.. I see I have some dead heading to do :topsy_turvy:

Wow, MNvegasgal, your plantings and the front porch are beautiful. I can just see myself having morning coffee or an evening cocktail on that porch. Gorgeous!

Hmmm...just a thought...maybe we should start a "share your pots and plants" thread, or something like that.

moemoe.. I think it is called Primrose Path.. Not 100% sure.. It is very full and needs minimal maintenance

Beautiful pictures. I came home to dying rose bushes that are infested with some type of beetles. I think it's too late to save them. [emoji30]

Elf, we've had an unusually great number of beetles over the past week or two here too. Never seen them this bad.
