I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me.
Just a short drive from downtown, the park is at its most fragrant in spring, when the cherry trees, plum trees, azaleas and other ornamentals are blooming.
The azaleas were in full flower.
The hillsides in June flame with azaleas.
Palms and azaleas were banked round the porter's lodge.
The area includes an azalea restoration area where the spectacular blossoms of various kinds of rhododendron and azaleas can be seen in the spring.
After about six hours the pipelines Peter out. The dense jungle scenery has not changed - although I notice the little wooden roadside homes have potted azaleas outside.
