Azaleas

One a year I have flowers in my yard. They only last a few days, but they are SOOOOO pretty.

And these are going wild in the back yard. Weeds, I assume. Does anyone know what they are?

Beautiful azalea! They are my very very favourite plant. I just love the time that they are all out. Looks as if you are about a fortnight ahead of us, my azaleas are only in bud at the moment.

I'm afraid I don't know what the blue flower is.

Your azaleas are lovely, Mary!!!! :) I think that last shot might be weeds, but very pretty ones!!!! :p

Very pretty!
We have some pretty azaleas too! We have the variation you have and then a solid pinkish. They're surrounding our large oak tree. Very pretty flowers, the bee's LOVE them though and i always forget to take pictures until after the winds blown them all off. :(

Whatever the pretty blue weeds are, they will be gone this week end. The back yard is knee-high in weeds of all sorts and needs to be cut.

(Maybe I should transplant them; they're the only other thing I seem able to grow!)
