Rhododendron Day
I wandered around the grounds of the Burnaby Art Gallery on Sunday. It was Rhododendron Day so the grounds were teaming with families taking in the sun and activities. The Rhodo festival is hosted by the City of Burnaby and the Burnaby Rhododendron and Gardens Society each spring when the flowers are in full bloom. Hundreds of these woody shrubs and trees were heavy with blossoms of white, peach, purple, and red. The weight of the flowers was barely contained by the ornamental beds of the Century Gardens.
