Azaleas

[AlanLichty]

We have a couple of azaleas in our yard that are amongst the few plants left from when we first moved in 26 years ago. Just about everything else has been replaced. They show signs of being waterlogged over the years from being planted in soil that doesn't drain well but continue to put out nice blooms every year. Shot the morning after some overnight rain.

This one is in our front yard:

And one in our back yard:

C&C always welcome.

Those are such pretty flowers Alan! I think I like the white/red version of flower over the all red. But both are really pretty flowers and I am glad they are able to survive with all of your rain.

Thanks Jim - the white/red is a more interesting color shame but its definitely the less health of the two plants due to soil drainage.

Beautiful, Alan. I'll bet the front yard smells great with those lilies of the valley plants under the azaleas.

Your yard must be brimming with color now. Nice couple of images of the azaleas.

Thanks Doug - we have Lily of the Valley in many places around the yard and their smell is a nice part about spring up here.

Thanks Jameel - yup - lots of colors just about everywhere right now. I love this season

Great shots Alan. Our Azaleas are still just in the bud stage, so something to look forward to.

Thanks Kevin - ours are still going strong although some around the neighborhood are dropping petals now.
