Alpine roses, 1, 2, 3, more and even more...










Alpine roses (Rhododendron) - German: Alpenrosen, Italian: Rododendro

I found these nice flowers in the forest at the end of the Martell Valley (2,150 meters a.s.l.)

    It is so lovely to see theseRhododendron ferrugineum in the wild. Always a wonderful surprise when one is high in the Alps.

    These are all glorious photos but the 2nd one really stands out. What's this about a birthday? Just in case, I wish you a fantastical time on your birthday! Is there anything different about an alpine rose say, from a Roman rose? I'd guess an alpine nose would be a little redder than a Roman nose, but I'm not sure! :))

    They are all lovely. It seems that your rhododendrons bloom quite a bit later than ours.

    I didn't know Rhododendrons were called Alpine Roses. What a beautiful series!
