SOME OF MY AZALEAS

OK, here they are. These are just the spring blooming azaleas. The ever-blooming azaleas had not started yet… they are starting to bloom now. The azaleas and the redbud bloom at the same time. These shots were taken 2 weeks ago.

Some friends brought me a couple truck loads of ‘shatters” – the Eastern Shore name for the long pine needles that cover the ground on much of the Shore.

John (Deere) and I carried loads of shatters around to mulch the acid loving camellias and azaleas.

I hope you enjoyed the stroll around my garden. Next, currently blooming peonies and iris and whatever else is blooming tomorrow morning. ENJOY!

Your yard is like a fairyland of beauty and joy. It is a wonder that you can stay inside at all. Thanks for sharing the feast but I have to admit to being jealous. It's strange that all 3 of my children have green thumbs like you and mine remains crooked and brown !!!

I felt like I was strolling formal gardens. You lucky "greenthumbed" lady to live amidst such beauty. Gorgeous, Jan. My thumbs are crooked and brown like Ginnie's. Lost my touch.
