Rhododendron (National flower of Nepal)

Hi Friends,I am rhododendron  the national flower of Nepal. I blossom from March to May in the Spring season and found especially in the hilly areas above 1200m altitude.

There are 30 original kinds of Rhododendron  in Nepal and which are widespread throughout the country and not found elsewhere. It has a lemon or velvety yellow flowers, which are short & well-shaped and are retiring or in pairs on the branch. It can be found near Muktinath and Phoksundo of western Nepal. Very grand sightings of Rhododendron can be assured in the south west side of Kanchenjunga area & the upper side valley of the Tamur river system. Nine species of Rhododendron can be observed In the upper area of Langtang Valley at around 2000m. The best time is from late March to mid June, and in addition to the Rhododendron, spring blooms of wild poppy, magnolia and primrose will undoubtedly make any trek a memorable one.
