These dwarf azaleas look like mums from a distance.
Three years ago when I visited Bayou Bend, the only stop along Houston’s annual Azalea Trail that interested me, there definitely was a trail.
What a bummer!
Pink on pink azaleas
Fortunately, our weather has been kinder this winter. So when I once again broke through my 10-mile comfort radius and made the drive into Houston, I was relieved to see lots and lots and lots of azaleas.
Sidebar: I couldn’t help but laugh when a guy said to his wife and friends, “Yep, there are a lot of pink flowers. And just more of the same the rest of the way.”
Buds bring the promise of more beautiful flowers.
He definitely was right in his assessment: Pink was the predominant color in the gardens.
The bees were busy, as usual.
Whether it bee azaleas . . . .
The little stingers were all over the place.
Or camellias . . . .
Love how the sunlight makes these glow from inside.
Tulips . . . .
I’m not sure what kind of tree this is, but it sure is pretty.
Or even the budding trees, that lighter shade of red made it seem kind of like Valentine’s Day (in a very feminine way).
The heart looks creepy!
I think that Cupid was tickled pink!
