Event: Rhodora Blooming
Where: Pocono Mountains

A spectacular harbinger of spring in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, rhodora (wild azalea) carpets the fields and roadsides in deep purple beginning in mid-May. A species more characteristic of New England and Canada, this northern shrub blooms in and around Long Pond in the western Poconos.
