I was house/cat/pond sitting my grandmas house again a few weeks ago, and her garden was in full swing. What really stood out was her Rhododendron ( your hawthorn pic reminded me barb!). Its an evergreen species, and its been there for " at least 15 years". I dont know any name or antything about it, other that it was covered in flowers, and it bloomed before tulips, clematis ( the non hybrid kind) dandilion, any iris or lily, lilac, dogwood.... it might have been one of the first flowers of the season taht I seen!

Pretty sure thats it!
I just couldnt believe how many blooms were on this thing. Im gonna take some cuttings in september or october when it goes dormant, and root em in my aerogarden ( and a few outside).
Dunno why, but im getting into the rhodies LOL
***PS - My Exbury Azalea survived. Its leafing out as we speak!
