Rhododendron macrophyllum

Did you know that the WA state flower is the Rhododendron macrophyllum?  I didn't know either.  These flowers are everywhere right now and they are beautiful!  I googled it this weekend and learned a lot.  Apparently they are all over the Puget Sound area of Washington, which is where we live and work, and they get really big!  We love seeing them and taking pictures by them.
