first bloom

This is the first bloom on a large bush in my front yard.  It’s a Rhododendron Austrinum (also known as a Florida Azalea).  The plant will eventually have over 50 blooms like this and is quite an eyefull.

This piano room is in the 1850’s era plantation that was owned by Dr. John Bratton.  Located in York County, South Carolina, the house and grounds are a national historical landmark.
