When reddit user smartforever posted this magnificent picture of an old rhododendron (from Ancient Greek rhódon "rose" and déndron "tree") on reddit, he probably made it the most famous rhododendron ever. Most rhododendrons are considered shrubs, but this one definitely could pass for a tree - it's over 125 years old! You can find it on Google maps (unfortunately, Google Street View car photographed it in the wrong time of the year).
