Flower Twist
Toes
May is the time to look for Rhododendron flowers (aka Hitty hats), but Tipsy says June is time for sunny days and bare toes!

Sad and saggy
The Hitty hats are definitely past their best!

Leaf buds
Tipsy helped me to twist off the expended Rhododendron flowers – we twist and pull very carefully, we don’t want break off the leaf buds like the spiky pink one in this picture…

Flower Buds
…or the little fat green flower buds shown here!

soft
The picked-off flowers are limp and a bit sticky, but Tipsy says they are nice to frolic in before they go to the compost!

Hi Tipsy, What a grand, barefooted helper you were to get all of those extinguished flowers off and enjoy doing what little ones do-play in them!
A little frolic among the petals is just what Tipsy likes best…we are lucky the weather has been quite pleasant.
Tipsy is a genius at making anything fun! Love her frolicking in the spent blossoms.
