The rhododendrons are slowly opening although most of the bud clusters are still asleep. They come in many colors. This deep reddish purple rhododendron highlighted with white and delicate maroon is called Purple Passion. The flower petals are highlighted with white and delicate maroon spots. The leaves are glossy dark green.
