   
The ever impish Uncle Arthur apparently used a bit of his warlock faire dust to whip up two hunk boys for this wonderful T. Charles fall portrait of a placid pocket sized lake, and place them smack dab in the center of attention. Or perhaps Uncle Arthur whipped them up for himself. Only Endora knows for sure.

Rhododendron "Grace Seabrook"
The Queen of the early big ass reds
To see this one in person is to remember the delicious and refreshing flavor of cherry ice snow cones on a long ago summer day. Gracie is one of the six different early big ass reds I raise. She was bred by a retired navy admiral (I think that was his final designation) who lived about two miles from where I am sitting. She has a big brother named “Taurus" (same cross -- shown below) that is similar, but bigger, and the latter has big dark red buds. He too is in bloom. If Grace is the Queen, Taurus is the early RED KING.

Rhododendron "Vibrant Violet"
Rhododendron "Gletschernacht"
Now the early mid season small leafed violets are opening up. These two have different species in their linage but open up around the same time. Both are a lovely violent color.
