carolina afternoon

So much of what I love about this area:  blue skies, trees, and blooming flowers.  This is the bloom that first showed up here.

  1. The original photo didn't, but this looks like some kind of azalea.

  2. Huh, I had no idea that's how azaleas started out! Cool!

  3. I actually don't think it's an azalea. The leaves are different and the body of the plant is different. I do have azaleas... but this is different. A project (figuring it out!)

  4. I think it's a rhododendron.

  5. I think it's a rhododendron, too. Although the flower looks somwhat like an azalea in this shot, the leaves are wrong. That means the mountain trails should be gorgeous--many of them are lined with rododendrons.
