It is azalea time again and here are a couple of the early bloomers.
These flank my deck and brighten the way to my Buddha statue who sits at a fork in the path--the perfect place to seek insights beneath the canopy created by two entwined Japanese Maples.
Here's one that is a native cultivar. When I bought it it had yellow blooms, but now it comes to spring with these amazing tangerine flowers.
And you can see that they are really compacted collections of flowers more like rhododendrons than azaleas. I have to keep them sprayed, too, 'cause the deer
love them.
This final shot is of this magnificent pink beauty that hugs the faux gas light at the stop of the steps from the street. Even without the sun to illuminate them, they just seem to glow!
