what does a shrub full of these look like?
like this!
and one not from my yard (but I love the yellow with purple)
these are in my yard and out of control. They need some serious pruning, but I think that will wait until after they're done blooming.

I definitely think you should wait until after blooming - you wouldn't want to lose that show!
Love the two close up photos. I just kept staring at them.
By the way, could I ask what kind of camera use. I'm thinking of getting a new one and doing a lot of reseearch for one that takes good closeups.
I love the Rhodadendrum bush.I would leave it untill its finished flowering.Great close up shot too of the flower.
Why prune them? They look great the way they are.
Thanks, Anna Maria! I use a really basic nikon point and shoot -- it's the coolpix 4600.
Thanks, Snappy and Ki! I love them too -- they are starting to go by now so in another couple of weeks I won't feel guilty giving them a little pruning.
You can't really tell from the photos, but there's definitely some scraggly bits that are not so beautiful. Not that I want them pruned within an inch of their life, but some of them are struggling to get to the sun, etc. etc.
