Spring fling in my front yard

[EYESORE 9001]

This is from a few days ago. Rains have since removed lots of petals, so I’m glad I snapped this photo while puttering around in the yard. This is my first spring here, and I had no idea what colors these azaleas would bloom.

3. Next gardening center I go to I will be looking

for azalea bushes.

Many hardy varieties good for the bone-chilling zone 6a too.

Thanks for posting.

4. I have good soil for azaleas, apparently

Lots of pine needles make the acidic conditions that azaleas (and rhododendrons, which I also have) prefer.

5. Yep, they like acidic soil like my blueberry bushes.

From what I'm reading, some varieties bloom three or four times a year too.

6. I don't have blueberries. Yet.

They are in the plans, however 🫐

7. By the looks of your azalea bushes, you could

grow great blueberry bushes in that soil.
