how did my backyard rhododendron turn into a floral giant overnight?

Last spring, I planted a tiny rhododendron, not expecting much. Fast forward to this week, and it’s basically taken over my garden! I swear, every time I walk outside, it’s doubled in size. Turns out, all those little things—mulching, watering early in the morning, and trimming off old blooms—really paid off. I never thought feeding it a bit of compost would make such a difference, but wow, those flowers are wild. Now, my neighbors stop by just to ask what I’m doing. I just tell them: don’t skip the basics, and your plants will surprise you. Watching this thing grow has made my whole summer. It’s like having a pink, leafy pet that just wants to show off. #gardeningtips #rhododendron #backyardbliss #Gardening
