What does rhododendron flower look like?

The flowers are bell-shaped and are born in clusters known as trusses. They may be white, yellow, orange, pink, red, or purple in color. The flowers are often decorated with spots of a different color from the rest of the flower. Most of my local plants bloom in May, though some produce flowers in April.
