Azaleas

To be honest, I am not a fan of Azaleas.  I find it annoying that they bloom once and then are a rather dull green plant the rest of the year.  However, they are lovely when they bloom.

Now, outside of Charleston (SC) is the Magnolia Plantation which - although it houses many Magnolias - is, in fact, famous for their Azaleas.  And they have types that bloom in every season.

But we happened to hit it during Azalea season, when the great majority were in spring bloom.  I share.
