Azaleas

 I had to share this with you... the Azaleas in the yard are just beautiful this year... they keep on getting prettier and larger every year... Love them all.. but this particular "BUSH" is about 6 feet tall.. maybe even larger, as I can't really tell because the land is on a slope there.. 

Anyway... I call it the orchid Azalea bush... here is a bloom from it...  I put it on the keyboard to show you how large the blooms are.. they are huge...  About 3 1/2  inches square... and the color... so very pretty and PINK... 


 This is another view from the deck area in the back of the house... you can see the pink dogwood over on the left side of the picture... and the Azaleas are just starting to bloom.. they will continue to get more and more blooms as each day passes...


 A few pinks, a few lavenders and of course there are dogwoods all over the place for the added whites...
A view of colors of all kinds.. the greens are very green now, as they are just blooming... so everything is BRIGHT plus... 
 This is a picture of going up the driveway... away from the house... it is lined with azaleas and up where the driveway starts to turn to the left is where the Orchid Azalea is...

There are azaleas hiding in each area of the yard... it is massively wonderful....


Here are two more in the back yard... the white one has really turned into a white massive bush since Glenn took this picture... it is about 7 feet tall and about 10 feet in width... huge bush...

They all have their own time when they bloom.. so the yard is a constant change each and every day of the year...







 When I look out my office window I see the back side of this large Azalea... it is one of the first to bloom in the yard... as it is close to the house... where it is warm... and it is on the west side of the house... and so it gets a lot of afternoon warm sun... 

There are about three or four together in that area... but the white one is about 6 feet tall...  and shows thru the windows in the office... what a lovely view...


 Looking out beyond the walkway... you will see the woods edge again... and here is where they start to line up... all the way around the house.. one is prettier than the next... larger than others... and the colors are all different...  pinks, whites, lavenders, and even one that is a little on the orange side... or maybe coral would be a better word to describe one that is the very last to bloom... 


 Looking out beyond the white dogwood there are still more bushes to see... whites, and pinks mixed in together... they look like they are one bush... but they all bloom at different times so you can tell that there are each an individual bush... 


The Large white one Azalea out front... right next to one of our magnolias... the Magnolia is about 30 feet tall now... a young tree... but very pretty none the less... 

The White azalea is about 6 feet tall... maybe a little bit taller... but you get the idea... 

I love our yard... can you tell.. I will take more pictures so you can see what it looks like as it progresses... these pictures were taken on the 11th thru the 13th of April... and now it is the 18th... so they have changed...

But I post at funny times... and have to get onto the computer when everyone else is off of it... makes things run a little bit smoother for me.. so have a wonderful day... enjoy the SPRING around your home... and hope you have enjoyed some of our flowers... 

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
