Spring in the South

I love the change of seasons and for those of us who live in the South, these changes are often very subtle. That is one reason why I love azaleas. There is nothing suble about azaleas. February is the month our azaleas bloom. It is amazing to me how a seemingly plain, ordinary shrub can burst into a flurry of blossoms almost overnight. Azaleas are such simple flowers, but when viewed "en masse" they almost take your breathe away. There are many things I like about living in the South. Azaleas are at the top of that list. Happy Spring!
