Rhododendron trees at Robertson



We used to live in this lovely old home in Robertson when my children were little and on the weekend I was sorting through some old images and found this one of my young son Thomas, yes, time does fly, as he is just about to do his final year 12 at school.




I remember every year I was so overwhelmed with all the flowers on this gorgeous pink Rhododendron tree which sat at the front of the house. It was enormous and the flowers lasted for weeks and weeks. There were a few more larger Rhododendron trees further down the long driveway that weaved around the property. I really wished I had actually taken more images back then, I think I must of been busy washing nappies or something.....











and below, are some images that I took on a very misty day in Robertson recently of some more enormous Rhododendron trees on the side of hill sitting in a wonderful old rainforest in Robertson. If you look closely through the mist you can just see how tall they are.







I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this blog, I planned to be doing many more posts on this garden blog of mine, I have taken all the photographs but each month I have been getting so far behind with my time and also my main blog takes up so much time. Please accept my apologise for not putting up many stories in the last couple of months, I hope I will find more time in my life this year to spend much more time pottering in my garden blog.






Happy gardening, xx Coty
