Forlorn

..yes.....both the rhodo and my focusing ability

Rhododendrons are not meant to live in alberta: they like most damp shady condition and clayey soil not the dry harsh condition of Calgary. This is epitomized by this bush's response to the recent cold snap and snow: its leaves have turned all limp and sad.

I have however managed to bring this one through two winters already despite it being in a pot. Complete fluke in fact.

Sadly it was the only picture i took today
