Rhododendron Bloom in Concord, MA

June 6-16, 2006

It's been fascinating reading the Perkins' posts about what is in bloom at Canobie Lake, NH and comparing it with my garden in Concord, MA. We really do live in rather different places. Right now I have my late mid-season plants in full bloom at the same time as many late plants -never had Robert Alison blooming at the same time as Delayed Surprise. Summer Summit and Summer Snow still pretty tight. Disca, Robert Alison and Cadis have never been so perfect. It's been a beautiful, if peculiar spring. And the rain has stopped!
