King George is not who you think he is, but more like what.
King George is a incredible rhododendron with powerful fragrance shrub of incredible beauty. The pink buds (the length of your hand) gradually turn white as they open. They are literally the size of a lily flower and just as gorgeous.
The WOWers and friends had the pleasure of being invited to a King George Party yesteday. We wined and dined under the blossoms of King George and his princess - Kwansan Cherry. There were only a few rules - wear pink and bring pink.
The variety of pinks was quite the treat - like real strawberry flavored popcorn. Of course there were beet treats and rhubarb cake, raspberry delights, tabouli (imagine that!), wild sparkly cupcakes and dainty pink cream puffs, buckets of shrimp with pink sauces, lemonade with pink champagne just to name a few things. It was a delightful pink feast for eye and gullet, but better than that... the attire... well... see for yourself.
But then "she arrived"!
All in pink and sporting these wild things around her neck.
Some even went as far as firing up their hair but
the topic for the whole afternoon was what are they?
Some said fox.
They didn't appear to be mink. What about ermine in it's dark phase?
Of course there was discussion about how to wear the kissing furred festoon.
I think you'd be shocked how many ways you can wear it.
You only need imagination!
Hear hear, a salute to King George,
Queen of quite a lot,
Princess Kwansan Cherry
and to the best hostess ever
WOWer Sally.
