RHODO'S IN THE ALPS:

I have always loved rhodos & I think I have told you how, when I was much younger, I went with a group of 6 women on a 28 trek, to see them growing in the Himalayas ? We WALKED from Kathmandu to Base Camp on Everest & then flew back from Luckla. Our leader had lived at Namche Bazaar for 2 years when her Dr husband was in charge of the N. Z. built hospital at Kunde. She spoke fluent Nepalese. We never saw rhodos this colour, mainly red, but it was the trip of a lifetime. And they grew like willowtrees !

Warm day with wispy cloud.
