Rhododendrons (left) and Bougainvilleas (right): What's the difference?
The Port Credit lake side rhododendrons give a tropical ambiance, especially with the heat wave now going on.
They reminded me of bougainvilleas. I got the image on the right from "bougainvillea in Addis" google search. The left is my photo.
Technically, Addis Ababa is not a tropical city. It is a high altitude city, with temperate temperatures. So, there are some similarities, after all, between the two scenes.
