Some welcome bursts of colour there Sue. very nice indeed.
Best wishes, Pete.
The azaleas are stunning this year – most definitely welcome bursts of colour, as you say!
This really is a riot of color – or an exuberant choir
Exuberant! There’s a most appropriate word!
Winkworth?
Can’t get anything past you, Jude! 😀😀
Weeelll… I did look at them for a while, considering Kew, but then I spotted the bluebell and knew it must be Winkworth. Gorgeous photos… I went once in spring, but I’m sure there weren’t this many azaleas.
I remarked to several people that the Azaleas seemed very abundant this year…I must find out if they had a planting spree a few years ago! Years since I have seen the Azaleas there, I am usually too late!
Fabulous! Mine never bloomed like that in Johannesburg. 😕
Well, I do think some years are better than others…and bear in mind there will be a team of gardeners looking after these!
Yes, you’re right. A team of gardeners would really help. 🙂
And a good ericaceous soil, I seem to recall
Lovely
Aren’t they just?!
☺
Oh Sue your azaleas are so very beautiful!!! Thanks for giving our eyes such a treat.
Well, they aren’t ‘my azaleas’, but they are beautiful! Glad you like 😀
Don’t they just make you want to sing? And tap dance 🙂
And yodel? And turn cartwheels!
No yodeling! I couldn’t abide Frank Ifield 🙂 Nor could I cartwheel 😦
Good – I wouldn’t like yodelling. Cartwheels I did used to do, very badly, years ago 😳
so vibrant!!
They were just glorious, gorgeous, gasp-inducing!
Candy for the eyes 😀 Great photos Sue!
Thanks, Alex!
An ocean of colour!
It most certainly was – breathtaking!
I first encountered and got to know these wonderful plants growing wild in Japan Sue. To see a volcanic mountainside transformed when the azaleas bloom is quite something. Stunning colours! 🙂
Wow! First Viveka made me want to see Japan, now you do!!
