Rhododendrons are native to and grow wild in northern Asia and usually bloom from April to June. It is the national flower of Nepal and can be found growing at an elevation of 19,000 feet.

Okay ... I'll find another option ....
But I have the book in my hands and it is definitely what I would call lavender. I just wondered if it was at least 50%. What tineye calls "Swiss coffee" is 52% so if they called it "lavender" it would have worked.
If you have the actual book and it really looks lavender to you, I will take it BC.

Nice job Agnieszka! And you never need to worry about the deadlines in this group - I don't really care about them. I put them there are guidelines (to often be ignored). Sure hope you are feeling better!!
Jan wrote: "If you have the actual book and it really looks lavender to you, I will take it BC."Well I notice that the task for Lavender (the flower), asks for a PURPLE cover ... and I wouldn't call it purple. SO I'll try something else.
Thanks for being so flexible, though!

You also have 4 with lots of blue. If you put Monk's Hood in the middle it will be reminiscent of a 1950s school dance: girls on one side, boys on the other, stern teacher center court.
