Flowers 2018

I do not, was told that it was called "fuchsia" when I got it at the flea market. The only azalea that I can find online called fuchsia is Girard's Fuchsia but the flowers don't match. I have some cuttings struck, I hope they take.

Well, hell. Most purple azaleas are a pale purple/lavender. The darker purple with speckles inside is really pretty and unusual.

There is another one that has dark purple flowers and is perfect for bonsai, it is a kurume called Karen. I have one in the yard I am gonna air layer.

All Toyo Nishiki Quince. Only white blooms so far, with the exception of pink marks on a few of the flowers. I was surprised how many were on this one little cutting.

I got to our monthly Saturday workshop a little early today, so I walked through some of the greenhouses at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. I'm not going to retreat to orchids again, but I might have to get a red powderpuff tree. Too nice.

My azaleas are going crazy this year.

Maybe if you view from the east (looking west) about 3 pm or 4 pm so there is some back lighting of the flowers.
