It’s the first time I get to see them in bloom. Two years ago the house wasn’t ours yet and last year we had an early spring followed by cruel frost and the flowers died just before blooming.

So lovely, with the bumblebee! They even venture to the flowers in my balcony. On the seventh floor no less.
That is a beautiful colour. The ones that came with this garden were pastel pink, deep pink and red. I passed the pink ones on to people who would be more appreciative of them than us.

These are just heart-achingly beautiful, Giliell. So pollen rich too! I love how the little bee just blends in.

Joseph Zowghi says
Wonderful. Purple is my favorite color. I can’t wait for the lilac bush in the backyard to start blooming.
Ice Swimmer says
Must agree with the colour, I also love it.
It’s always nice to see bumblebees.
The leaves look a bit like sage leaves, even though azaleas aren’t close relatives to them.
Raucous Indignation says
My flowering shrubs are nowhere near this point yet.
voyager says
What a beautiful colour and they look so pretty against the house. The second shot is my favourite with the red and yellow stamens.
Nightjar says
Such a beautiful Azalea, I don’t think I ever saw one this colour. Love the bumblebee photo.
