Wow that's a lovely early one 💕

Thank you everyone. It’s always one of the first shrubs to glower every year. @charlotte @fisherman @cee @hkyfvr @juliesgarden @brightcolours @churchfarmgarden

Always welcome 😄

And the White one is covered in blooms! 🤍🤍🤍. Only the red ones at the front left now to bloom fully. It’s been a great year for these plants.

Another gorgeous one Nicola….

And they’re all oldies Elaine. Ever reliable. Hope you’re feeling a bit better now xx @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

The old ones are the best….👌🏼😄 we’re feeling better but we have lots of moments, my time is in the morning when I come down stairs and he’s not there to greet me….he was very special to us and as you know we couldn’t have loved them anymore than we did…….🫶🏼🤍

Absolutely Elaine. They were very lucky boys and we were very lucky parents 😍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

The purple azalea is making its debut 💜💜💜

Fabulous 💜

Both looking good 😊

It’s been a good year for them Angela @italydiva

The standard azalea is in full bloom 🌸💓🌸

Lovely

You must have great acid soil Nicola that’s amazing 💕💞💕💞💕💞

That’s right Elaine. Lots of acid loving plants around here @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Stunning and what a gorgeous colour😍💕

We have the opposite here Nicola so we have to use pots but I would’ve be without them……🫶🏼

Absolutely stunning! 💗💗💗

And the standard azalea is complementing the Camellia 💓

Beautiful 💗

Stunning colour Nicola 😍 @jendren 😍

The last of my azaleas to bloom. Now we’re really into summer!

Beautiful Nicola 🌸🌸🌸

Wow😍😍😍

WoW 🤩 💜

Wow love that colour, what is growing on the right hand side, I love that too 🤩

That’s a camellia Sunaina. It’s the reason the azalea grew so tall. It had to go up to get light @sunaina

This azalea is now nearly as tall as the conifer trees behind it -15 feet! 💜

Gorgeous 💜💜💜

Wow 💜💜💜

Standard azalea in full bloom now. 💓

Oh that’s absolutely gorgeous 💕💞💓💗💖💘💝

Wow... that’s amazing 💗💗💗

This plant is nearly thirty years old and my neglect in early years means it developed a twisted stem. But when it blooms - and it’s first to bloom every year- it blooms big! 💓💓💓💓 @kez001uk @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @BillWatson

It obviously still loves you Nicola...😉

That's a beauty Nicola

What a beauty Nicola 💞💞💞

That's lovely 💚💚

My standard azalea is in full swing now 💓💓🌸🌸💓💓 #pink

💕💕💕💕

how old is it Nicola it's very nice

Thank you. It must be about 25 years old Alan. We did that bed in 1993 when we did an extension. It gives nice colour early in the year. @alan1111

They give fantastic early colour alright. It looks great, you must have put it in the perfect position, it's thriving

Rhododendrons and azaleas starting to make an appearance.

😍😍😍

Lovely!

Oldies but goldies Katy @gjones

Loads of pink on the standard azalea 🌺🌸

That’s lovely, I’m growing a standard too but it’s only small yet and it’s taken a hammering from the bad weather. It’s got new growth so I’m not too worried 💕💕

Mine is over 20 years old Jane. It isn’t the best of shapes coz it was neglected for years when Jenny was small. But now I’m back in charge but don’t think I’ll do much to it. @pelly

I don’t think I would either Nicola, it’s too pretty 💕💕

My standard azalea. Always the first to bloom though a bit later this year than usual. Can’t say I blame it ❄️

My twenty year old standard azalea which blooms early every year and always cheers me up.

💞💓💗💕😍

Nice to hear from you @pattygardd Hope you are keeping well.

Looks beautiful love azalea time 🤗🤗

Not too bad for an oldie thank you Nicola.@jendren Hope you and yours are well

Yes all well thanks xx @pattygardd
