The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Rhododendron of Appalachia
Thought for today:
If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect
wood and don't assign them tasks and work but rather, teach them to long for
the endless immensity of the sea.
It is a wonderful quote. We have a couple of varieties of the flower that will grow up here but most never get any bigger than a couple of feet tall. Yours plants flourish down there.
So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
Actually this is a decorative plant, not the natural kind growing all over the nearby mountains.
