5 Rhododendron Images
Today we have a stunning collection of Rhododendron Images! Do you know that Rhododendron means Rose Tree or Red Tree? I found that fascinating as I always thought of them as more of a flowering bush. Below are some gorgeous florals – a lovely painting in pinks and a variegated Rhododendron with a beautiful bird. We also have a coloring sheet and a botanical illustration printable that you can color. You could use watercolor paints, colored markers or pencils, or it would be splendid to color digitally as well. Coloring isn’t just for kids any more. Lots of research has shown that coloring is a great pastime for adults too. I love to color as a stress reliever and am always on the lookout for great coloring sheets! All are nice Rhododendron pictures to use in your Spring craft or DIY Projects.
Vintage Rhododendron Images
Here is the newest image to this collection. It’s another Victorian Scrap diecut like the pink one below, only this one has blue-ish flowers on it! I think the 2 would coordinate nicely together.
Pictured above is a spectacular floral. I love the incredibly pretty and showy peachy pink blooms of this gorgeous Rhododendron Painting. The exquisite image displays brightly colored flowers along with large green leaves on a woody stem. The petals are softly ruffled, and form a wide trumpet or bell shape. They are decorated with spots of a dark maroon or burgundy color. Love it!
Rhododendron with Bird Scrap Piece
Above is one of those amazing Victorian Scrap pieces. This one shows a sweet Bird with pretty Pink Flowers… Rhododendrons perhaps? The lovely bird (I believe it is a Swallow) seems to be singing as she is perched on a woody branch of a lovely flowering Rhododendron. She has a white breast, brown head, and a dark blue throat. The Rhododendron is a creamy white color with pink and rose accent colors. There is also a hint of yellow here and there. The individual flowers seem so small in relation to the size of the bird. Lovely!
Botanical Rhododendron Clipart
This lovely Botanical Engraving of a Rhododendron is from one of my books; actually it was more of a Catalog. There was no date in the Antique Gardening Catalog but my best guess would be 1880’s -1890’s, due to the style of writing in the book. The beautiful blossoms have an almost bouquet look and feel. Interestingly, I find this illustration just as beautiful as a full color one because of the amazing detail!
Click HERE for the Rhododendron Coloring Page
Here we have a lovely Rhododendron Line Art Illustration! Featured above is a wonderful Vintage Coloring Page of a Rhododendron branch. It’s ready for you to break out your markers or colored pencils. It is scanned from a Vintage coloring book in my collection. The book does not have a copyright date in it, but appears to have been made around the 1950′s.
I hope you enjoyed this lovely curated collection. You might also like the 750+ Images in our Flowers Archives HERE or the 30+ Images in our Coloring Pages Archives HERE!

Hi Karen, Thank you for the lovely rhododendron! Many of my neighbors have them in such lovely shades of purple. My next door neighbor went to Oregon many years ago and came upon a bright fire orange rhododendron. She asked if she could take a cutting to bring back here to Missouri. She was told that particular type and color of rhododendron was native to Oregon/Washington and would never survive in the Midwest. Still she brought it back. Seventeen years later that fiery orange flowered bush is six feet tall and blooms prolifically every year! Would I paint this image purple or the blazing orange…maybe I’ll do both!

P.S. Karen, I think that the rhododendron would look gorgeous combined with two graphics from another one of your gardening books: the second petunia in this post–http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/2012/08/vintage-floral-clip-art-petunias.html–and the dahlia in this one–http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/2012/02/vintage-clip-art-flower-engravings.html.

Lovely rhododendrons! The bird is actually male House Sparrow, common in the UK, a real cheekie chappie. Thank you for all the wonderful images.

Hi Karen,
Such beautiful, gorgeous flowers we have here! The blue and the peach would definitely compliment each other. These are awesome!! I love the soft tones from light to dark in both – they are both very striking. Who couldn’t fall in love with those flowers?
Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!
Stay safe!!
