Hoping for rhododendrons to bloom

Last September this statue returned to Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh after a gap of about 30 years.  Story here.

One of my favourite photographs is of this statue which I took in 1983 when my trusty Pentax K1000 was the camera of choice.  I shared a scan of it with the RBGE some time back.  I'm hoping the colours will be out behind 'Girl' soon so that I can take a similar photo.
