Your First is Always Special

Pink Ruffles--the first azalea I ever planted. This one is huge now. Probably 8-9 feet tall and absolutely gorgeous. Pink Ruffles is probably still my all-time favorite for several reasons. The color epitomizes Spring, it grows fairly rapidly, and is always loaded with blooms. I have added several more over the years, maybe 400 or so. Around the house, around the shop, around the pond. Light pinks, dark pinks, fuchsias, whites, reds, even some orange ones I found last year. It sounds a little much, I know, but honestly I still have more space and will add more as I find ones I don't have. Or even ones I do have! What the heck, it's a healthy hobby!
