This is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI hope the plant survive the cold and will bloom soon.
Oh that poor plant, I hope it survives to bring beautiful blossoms in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could call this fearful beauty! Unbelievable sight!
ReplyDeleteStunning macro shot!
ReplyDeletePoor Rhody! I hope she doesn't suffer too much for all the ice.
ReplyDeletePoor thing - that's a lot of ice!
ReplyDeleteGood job rhododendrons are hardy, isn't it? I bought a new one last autumn and it looks so sad right now, but I know it will survive the cold!
If Rhododendron is perennial it will grow back. The shot is so great I like it.
ReplyDeleteBlinded by the Light
I bet it's used to it. But wow, that's pretty!
ReplyDeleteShrink wrapped in ice. A good and very unusual image.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo..beautiful and stunning work!
ReplyDeleteKiki~
That's absolutely beautiful ! it looks almost unreal ! what a catch !
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting shot, the poor flower is all covered with ice. Great macro.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it will bloom, but being enclosed in ice will help it survive bitter temperatures. Orchardists with flowers or fruit that are threatened with freezing will sometimes spray the trees with water to protect them.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, and thanks for visiting!
I'm glad it's not my rhododendron, but I wish it were my photo. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteohhh! I like this one...looks like a totally different organism with that ice on it, great shot!
ReplyDeleteencased in glass. Cool.
ReplyDeleteOne time after an ice storm,t here was a bog wind and all these huge hunks of ice from bark, twigs and leaves crashed down and it it looked like an entire glass forest had been shattered.
That photo is so amazing!
