Rats, I missed sending out information about the Tulip Festival in Seattle and the Azalea Festivals happening around the country.
But lots of Rhododendron Festivals are going to be taking place in the US during May and June that I hope some readers will be able to attend. I read that after Roses, Rhododendrons are the next most popular flower.
So I won’t forget to let you know about The 77th Annual Rhododendron Festival “Spring into Rhody” May 14-May 19. 2012 in Port Townsend, Washington (see here).
Or how about the Rhododendron Festival in Oregon. This is their 105th Rhododendron Festival and will be held on Friday, May 18th, 2012 – Sunday, May 20th, 2012 Don’t miss it. (see here)
On May 19th thru May 27th there is the Heritage Museum and Gardens Rhododendron Festival in Cape Cod in Sandwich, Mass. (see here)
There is the Bakersville, North Carolina Rhododendron Festival June 15-16, 2012 (see here).
And the Roan Mountain, Tennessee, Rhododendron Festival Sat. and Sun. 10am to 5pm, June 16-17, 2012 (see here).
There is also a Rhododendron Show at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg, California on May 5th and 6th called “Rhodies in Our Garden”. (see here)
If readers can attend any of these festivals, please share your photographs with TheGardenLady blog.
