    There are still rhododendrons in bloom. These are both white with very large flowers, not previously posted here, but the first one was featured on Botany Photo of the Day in June, 2010.
    Rhododendron glanduliferum, a grove of at least 20 of them. No splotch markings on the flowers.

    Rhododendron decorum subsp. diaprepes 'Gargantua', a very large tree. I was a long way from being able to touch any of the flowers.
