The expansive blooms of the rhododendron teach us about opening our vision beyond ourselves. It welcomes in the opportunity for opening to humanity by being vulnerable enough to lean into others and to be leaned on. It gives us great vision and perspective to see things from outside of ourselves in the now and deep into our purpose. Rhododendron helps us to filter out that which is most important and most vital to living our Tao.

Rhododendron is part of the Maia Collection, a tribute to the Roman Goddess of Spring and Flowers. These early spring blooms give us the hope and vision of new beginnings through the element of Wood. As within every little bit of nature, all the elements exist. As these early bloomers let go of their blooms to make space for their leaves, there is an aspect of the metal element that comes into play. Metal teaches us about value, taking in the purest vibrations and releasing that which we no longer need. Early bloomers holding flowers all spring, summer and fall would die, as it requires far too much energy to stay in bloom all year round! Perhaps this time, provides such an opportunity for us.

"Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself." -Lao Tzu
