Rhododendron in the Rain

14 years ago a dear friend gave me a cutting of a Rhododendron. Today it blooms prolifically outside my kitchen window. This year it is covered with these gorgeous deep red blooms, brightening dull wet days like today. A reminder of a friend who is no longer just around the corner....no idea what variety it is.
