This gorgeously sensual poem [by Caroline Hawkridge] celebrates the radiant summer blooming of the rhododendron.
The language seems as touchable as clothing--"snoods"/"sleeves"/"trusses"/"chiffon"/"bath towel"--and this sexiness is enhanced by the image of the flowering of the shrub as a "love bite" on the garden.
