Azaleas 2



One plant's hell is another plant's heaven.  
This may have been a bad year for early flowering trees, 
but that made it a great year for the azaleas, which were truly spectacular. 
It's not a coincidence.  
The lack of foliage above allowed them to have more sunlight and they responded accordingly.  
These are from my favorite haunts -
Central Park
and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 
which has more exotic varieties. 
I saw some amazing photos on Instagram this spring from Japan where they have fields of azaleas.  I'd like to see them someday.
Here's a previous blog of azaleas...


Cheers!
