Description

Ilam Violet is a small, delicate "blue" rhododendron that is found in Homestead Park here in University Place, Washington. There are many other rhodies of the "blue" variety there and it can be a challenge differentiating between them. Sometimes the difference is in the appearance of their leaves, as in this case.
