Papergeist, Omg. There are so many spiders in there.
nifty, 
I know! Isn’t it great ^^
uis, Granny From First Floor - 100 lvl
SoleInvictus, Fact check: the woman turned 100 in 2023. The oldest rhododendron was 48, having been planted in 1975. The story is amazing on its own, no need to fabricate a more fantastic one.
uis, Thanks.
nifty, Thanks, I didn’t factcheck my stolen meme! Next time
stebo02, 
this is like one of those stories that are passed on but the details change a bit every time
pacoboyd, My nose and throat can feel this picture.
stebo02, is that an allergy?
pacoboyd, Yes, all that pollen.
maniacalmanicmania, 
There should be juxtaposing text that says “I want to believe”.
Metz, German Imagine be able to live 100 years at the same place. i moved like 20 times and i’m not even 40…
Nounka, Wow… Wonder what variant that is. Mine seems to never grow. Is in more than 10 years grown maybe a few centimeters.
Roldyclark, This is my sign to plant a rhododendron
Omgarm, It adds 100 years to your life!
stoy, Please do some research first, depending on your location and the specific variant of rhododendron you plant you may introduce an invasive plant.
Pacmanlives, Wait what? Invasive? I have never seen one that just spreads like mint or buttercups
13esq, In the UK they are an invasive species. They out compete native plants and spread easily.
Seleni, Our reply to the ignoble English Ivy over here in the States, apparently
13esq, I’m pretty sure that rhododendrons originate from Asia.
stoy, Yep, Nepal
The_v, It’s a large family with a large geographic area. Some are native to the Americas as well.
Seleni, And North America. Mostly on the west coast of the US and BC, although they have cousins sometimes called ‘mountain laurel’ on the east coast of the US.
Confusingly, in some places on the east coast, they call mountain laurel ‘rhododendron’ as well.
KingJalopy, Exactly. You could end up with humans that live for 100+ years.
Roldyclark, Looks like this is the move: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhododendron_catawbiense?wp…
