Rhododendrons are at their peak right now in Portland. I see them everywhere, and they are brilliant. Their home base is the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden across the street from Reed College in SE Portland. It only costs $3, and is free after 6:00 pm. Now that it's staying light until around 9:00, this is a pretty good deal. Although rhodes are the claim to fame, this place is really nice year-round, and has lots of other blooming things to appreciate in the spring, including cherry trees. It's nine and a half acres, and feels even bigger because it shares a border with a golf course. It wasn't crowded when I went, and that was on a weekend when the flowers were at their best. Check it out!
