These are close or are Swamp Azaleas, the bud looks the same but more orange (pretty neat). Took some good photos of BigK’s last evening at dusk. My leg I damaged decades ago in Harley accident I’ve been having some problems with. I’m starting to feel like HOUSE in more ways than one (LOL). Except not quite as brilliant and more of an idiot. I guess we can’t have it all?
Hoping to photograph some red ones tomorrow morning that I saw were popping after this rain.
Sorry, that half way made sense. I’ll post Bigk’s photographs when I’m feeling better. Of all the cures I’ve tried, you’ll get a chuckle out of this, Aspirin has been working for this problem.
Aspirin is a good drug. The Klondyke azaleas are definitely related to the swamp azaleas (Pinxter flowers) – they are deciduous. I found them at the Little Five Azalea Farm (great place). They have them in yellow and red. They’re in full bloom right now – come by and see them! I also replaced my Rhododendrons with new ones of the same variety as the old ones that were not looking so good after 26 years. I’m hitting the road to Prince George in the morning, will be back in the afternoon, then Power Cave in the evening.
