Azalea Festival in Texas

[neetanddave]

Hey Hilda or Laureen, is this anywhere near ya'll????

www.tylerazaleatrail.com I fixed the link, they published the wrong website.

Looks like a fun time! :jive:

[Hilda>^..^<]

Hmmm, whenever I click on the link, I get a disconnect page...:confused2: I did look up another Tyler Texas page though...what interested me (has nothing to do with gardening though) was a tribute to The Beatles they had just recently...orchestra performing lots of Beatle tunes...I would have loved to attend that. I don't care too much for azaleas...I really don't know why...they are beautiful...but they do nothing for me...strange huh?

Wow - that looks very cool! I love azaleas.

Mine are jus starting to bloom. So far I have purple, pink and white. :D But I have like 150, so I bet I have more colors.

Thanks for fixin' the link. Great pics!

I guess I shouldn't have said that I don't care for azaleas...while they are beautiful and put on a spectacular display...its just so short-lived and I guess that's what I don't like about them. I prefer a plant that produces blooms throughout the growing season rather than just for a few short weeks (if that long)...

Oh Nita their gorgeous!!.

I bought two orange Azelia plants last night to plant. It says "Evergreen" on the label so do they still look ok once the flowers have died off because that's what i was hoping for?.

Yes Susan, the Evergreen means they'll keep their leaves all year around. There are a few decidious ones that shed them, but most azaleas are evergreen!

And thanks, I still have a few more pics of them to share tonite.
