Sweet Scents of Summer: Rhododendron viscosum Mug
Oh, to be wandering through a damp, mossy woodland on a humid summer evening! That is precisely the memory this mug invokes. Feast your eyes upon the magnificent Rhododendron viscosum, a true North American classic, delightfully known as the Swamp Azalea. This is no common, fussy garden hybrid; this is an elegant, hardy native that has a secret weapon: one of the most intoxicating fragrances in the plant kingdom. It thrives in the low, peaty woods and swamps from Maine down to South Carolina, a testament to the unexpected beauty that can flourish in the mire.
The botanical illustration on this mug is a stunning capture of its characteristic charm. Notice the clusters of pristine white to pale pink flowers, each tube-shaped blossom delicately flared at the end. The long, prominent stamens extending outward give the flowers an ethereal, spidery grace. But the real scientific marvel here is its name, viscosum, referring to the sticky (viscid) nature of the flower tube, a clever adaptation that aids in pollination. This stickiness guides the pollinators, often hummingbirds or long-tongued insects, ensuring the transfer of pollen. This plant is a sensory masterpiece, combining striking visual appeal with a scent so sweet—spicy, clove-like, and utterly captivating—that it has been prized by gardeners and botanists for centuries.
This mug is more than just a vessel for your morning coffee or evening tea; it's a pocket-sized piece of the Eastern American wilderness. It’s for the gardener who adores native plants, the nature lover who appreciates delicate design, and anyone who needs a moment of fragrant woodland serenity to brighten their day. Let the Swamp Azalea be your daily inspiration, a reminder of the quiet, enduring beauty and complexity found in our own backyards. It's a perfect gift, a beautiful statement, and a constant companion for your quiet moments of contemplation.

I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!
