Description
Purple Passion Rhododendron - Dora Sofia Caputo
Image captured at a recent Spring Flower Festival in New York.
Rhododendron is a genus of 1,024 species of woody plants in the heath family (Ericaceae), either evergreen or deciduous, and found mainly in Asia, although it is also widespread throughout the Southern Highlands of the Appalachian Mountains of North America. It is the national flower of Nepal. Most species have showy flowers which bloom from late winter through to early summer.
Azaleas make up two subgenera of Rhododendron. They are distinguished from "true" rhododendrons by having only five anthers per flower.

What a beautiful capture of these lovely Rhododendron blooms, Dora! I love the detail in the center of the bloom and the soft focus in the background. Beautiful work! Can't wait until they are blooming this year.
