Dexter Estate photo. In the Philadelphia and New York City areas, our best rhododendrons bloom from mid-May to June first or even through the first week in June. We do have R. mucronulatum, and a few of its varieties and hybrids, in late March and early April, and we do have R. maximum in late June and early July.
Unlike its brethren in the genus Rhododendron the individual petals of the rhodora flower do not unite into a tube but remain separate all the way to their base. Photo by Eleanor Saulys. In a forest of muted grays and greens the brilliance of the bloom of rhodora is a sight to behold and savored. Photo by Janet Novak.
