Note: When the leaves are cold and unhappy they curl up
When they are happy – they are wide open to life and they give birth to blossom
Dedicated to Jill Ebstein who reminded me that the Rhododendrons are at their peak of life. More importantly she has observed the seasons of people and has brought together a wonderful series of essays of the seasonal ups and downs of real live people called “At My Pace” Highly recommended read!!!
