mike's glee ..

after the passing of our dear fellow gardener, mike, the gardeners and friends of gardeners at the community garden came up with the idea of planting something in memory of mike at the garden .. two rhododendrons will grace the entry to the garden .. such a lovely idea ..

the first of these is rhododendron 'mike's glee' ..

i have the privilege of taking care of this little guy until such time as a place is prepared for it .. besides carol, i am one of the few who has seen it bloom .. it seems to me that this blog is a perfect vehicle for sharing mike's glee with others ..

a perfect complement to the energy mike brought to our community garden ..
