She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
“Winter is dead.”

Yes, even here in Central Oregon, you can enjoy the beautiful spring blooming, evergreen, rhododendrons! Moonfire and Sun provides varieties that, once established, are cold hardy and heat resistant. The Calsap variety has a white flower with a dark red throat. Maximum roseum is a sun and heat tolerant variety with a pinkish-lilac bloom. Stop by to check out the rest of our selection. Although we provide varieties that are suitable for our climate, proper location in the landscape is key. Rhododendrons do best in the high desert, when they are provided with afternoon shade and protection from the drying winds. After you find the proper home for your rhododendron, it is important to maintain desirable soil conditions. This is attained easily enough by amending your natural soils with acid planting mix when planting. Continue to top dress every spring and fall with the acid planting mix to hold moisture, maintain proper acidic levels, protect during winters, and most importantly, improve your success.
Enjoy the benefits that birds offer, with their beautiful songs, colors and playful activities. We have everything you need to invite the birds to your yard. First provide them with the food they enjoy from Wild Delight. Next, select a bird feeder supplied by Woodlink, that is just as enjoyable to look at as the birds. Here is a list of bird feeding tips from Woodlink:
Have you ever had the opportunity to watch a bird take a bath? They are so cute, working hard to splash their bodies with water from a shallow pool. We have nice ceramic bird baths provided by the local artist, Brad Henry so you can make this opportunity happen more often. Here in the high dessert, water supplies are scarce for the birds so providing them with fresh water year round is very important.
After the birds are all fat, happy and clean, give them a place they can call home. We have handmade, cedar bird houses provided by a local craftsman. With his unique design you will find this bird house to be hassle free. He has made them so cleaning is a cinch.
