May is peak season for spring Rhodies and Azaleas. Unlike the winter blooming counterparts spring bloomers are more vibrant with some hotter colours for spring.

A short walk and here are some that I found in the hood.

Awesome. They are a difficult grow for me due to my soil and summer drought. It is great to so many different colours.

Originally from the Orlando area, I miss this yearly event. Leu Gardens literally explodes in color. Unfortunately down in South Florida we don't get the cool weather spelling for these beauties to maintain vigor. They struggle here from the weather and our calcareous soil. They really flourish in acidic soil.

Don't really see thin in Cali, either. I suspect due to the dry summers. Even here where we get lots of rainfall, it is a bear to get them established and through their first summer.
