Back to some chillier temps again and a light sprinkling, tho, today. Yuck. I want spring to get here!! The roses and other plants are ready for it too... These pics were from this morning before the drizzle came back...

AZALEA given to us by our realtor when we bought our house... 16+yrs ago!!

CAMELLIA... don't remember the name, but it was something like "Jingle Bells" or "Christmas."

CAMELLIA .... possibly "Nuccio's Pearl" .... but probably not...

Another stripey CAMELLIA that I don't remember the name of....

I'll be so glad when it warms up and stays warm....

Ok, they are all beautiful but that azalea is to die for!! I live where the azaleas are spring showstoppers and I have never seen one like that. Off to Google!

and my azaleas have been in full bloom for a couple of weeks but I think the cold snap may have killed off the blooms. I'll know in a couple of days.

Nice to have colour, to brighten our 'white' (snow) outlook.

Pleasant reminder, that spring is coming?

Ouch that's a bummer Carolina Girl!! That azalea of mine is a florist one. I see them all the time at the florist shop at Safeway and often at the Grocery Outlet. It does really well outdoors tho. Been there for 16yrs. The plant is about 3ft x3ft. Blooms every yr.

Yeah, I went out today and every azalea in town looks like that. We have freezing temps again tonight, then springlike weather all next week.

So sorry, Carolina girl, all those lovely blooms gone, nature can be cruel sometimes. Up in the north, we expect winter, but this one has been like a yo-yo, including lots of wind.
