It is this time of the year again.

in #nature6 years ago

The time when Azaleas and Rhododendrons are starting to bloom. There is a few colours that we have in the garden, but this orange Azalea is the one I look forward the most. The flowers are so large and beautifully shaped I can't have enough of it.

Pity the smell doesn't really match the looks... it is stinky. To me at least. But I don't have to smell it to admire it, right? :)
Love the orange petals, love the light green leaves. It is a stunning plant! Now imagine a bush the size of a car filled with those orange blooms...
Our plant is more like chair size :p but one day it will grow I hope.
