Bonnie says we have weird azaleas. Most azaleas stopped blooming around here weeks ago, but here’s one that’s just peaking. We have others that are just starting to bloom, and we have some that bloom in the spring and in the fall.
The weirdest of all are those that die and bloom at the same time, like the one below. You can see a dying branch in the upper-right of the photo. I don’t know what’s going on, but it seems like whole sections of a plant dies off and those branches become brittle enough to snap off.
