Rhododendrons

I bought this Rhododendron to go on my porch in the white planter that I have. It is currently still in the original pot just sitting in the planter. I have every intention of putting it in the planter. I even have potting soil. I just need some stones for the bottom. I had better get to it. Aren't they pretty?! I love all of the flowering plants that thrive here in the east without much effort.

There is a bird nest (complete with baby birds) on the ledge just above where this plant sits so I picked off the nesting materials. I left the poop. You can see it on the leaves.
