The Seven Sisters
Posted by Ian Smith (London, United Kingdom) on 13 May 2011 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
The unseasonably warm weather in April has brought forward the blooming time of countless plants across the country, and the best place in the UK (that I know of) to see the roads lined with Rhododendron flowers is around the Sandringham Estate in early summer.
But here we have what is locally known as the Seven Sisters - seven intertwined Rhododendron plants which have grown to a height of a large tree. They always bloom before any of the others, and I was lucky enough to capture them only days before the all flower petals were to fall.
Thank you for visiting. You can also find me on Flickr, 500px, Tumblr and Twitter.
