Oh, Cookie - is there anything more thrilling? Thank you for that beautiful picture!
DG - Azaleas are among my favorite flowers. Seeing them bloom every spring (in CT) is just breathtaking. The pink ones are my favorite... (and don't you just love watching The Masters? That golf course, bordered by Azaleas is picture perfect!)
"Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. . ."
With my 56 year old house came some magnificent 56 year old azaleas, lilacs, wisteria and peony's, as well a huge number and variety of bulbs--everything imaginable. It's my favorite part of the house. I can't wait for Spring!
And Addy, the bulbs follow bulbs followed by the forsythia, followed by the azaleas, followed by the rhodadendron (which I added) , followed by the lilacs, followed by the wysteria and the peony's... and on and on. I have about 8 weeks of constant blooming, marvelous color!
It sounds like my parent's place, Somms. The mountain laurel, the dogwood (both early and late blooming) and then the gardens... the July flowers and the late summer grasses...
I think I would have loved being a landscape architect.

It's a little too chilly here for me today, so with Addy's permission, I'd like to charter her private plane and head for Tahiti. Of course, if she's ok with it, anyone who wants to join is more than welcome. Pink drinks, chocolate and Twister will be provided.
