Today was supposed to be cloudy and rainy, but there was about an hour during which the sun burst through the clouds. I went to Sayen Park Botanical Garden, a local place filled with flowers and where many weddings take place from Spring to Fall. There was just enough time to take the following shots before the sky became menacing and the good light disappeared.
Tulips were mostly gone, their leaves and stems cut to the ground, but some were still putting on a valiant show.
On the other hand, Rhododendrons were in their prime season.

You’re welcome. It’s nice to know about these plants. I don’t think I’ve seen them here in California. Maybe I’ve not looked closely enough.
