Never. But I had no clue you'd find Azalea Heaven there at Callaway Gardens. What a place! What I especially love is all the azaleas AND the tulips, connecting to me here in the Netherlands. This is very special to me.

Our neighborhood is old and established so the shrubs are often gigantic and covered with blooms are every shade. Sadly, today I see the rain of the past couple of days have knocked the petals to the ground and their days are numbered - but rhodies to come soon and all the Summer blooming flowers. God is good to us, and with a little planting and a lot of love and hard work, we can make beautiful gardens just about anywhere.<br /><br />Here's to Spring - enjoy each moment dear friend......'walking' with you at Callaway was an honor, would love to do it in person some day!<br /><br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-51952655773138830302013-04-30T07:26:11.117-04:002013-04-30T07:26:11.117-04:00Thank you for all of these beautiful pictures.

We've tried to grow azaleas in the mountains, but the deer think they are appetizers and eat all of the leaves. How I miss azaleas and now you've taken care of that craving for me this morning.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-53202560693847435642013-04-30T01:53:55.223-04:002013-04-30T01:53:55.223-04:00Wonderful post, Vagabonde!
