My all time favorite lepidote (smalle leaf) rhododendron and very near the top of all types. It's trying to open, just a couple of days away if there's warm weather. I can hardly wait!

And yep, that's completely normal for the leaves to be slightly curled this time of year. They are the size of those coffee stirring straws all winter and rust colored, and they will be flat out in probably another week or so. Fully green in probably a month.
