We love Azaleas, and here at the Boggy Thicket we have several large beds with quite a few varieties. They won’t be in full bloom for another week or two, but quite a few plants are blooming already.
Our largest bed and our largest Azaleas are a mixed planting of Formosas and Savannahs. Over the years, they have become increasingly hard to tell apart, and I have been feeling pretty smug about my ability to differentiate between the two – then I saw this picture on the Azalea Society website.
Believe it or not, the picture above shows Seven different varieties of hybrid Azaleas from the Newman Garden in Great Falls, VA. They are -
Top Left to Right:
'Chloe', 'Circe', 'Concordia'
And Bottom Left to Right:
'Echo', 'Modesty', 'Temptation', 'Vision'
I’ll probably post some pictures of our Azaleas soon. In the meantime, you can see some great pictures at azaleas.org.
