Garden corner

I've shown this corner of the garden a few times before but this is the first time the rhododendron and azalea flowers have been in sync. The azalea is normally later than the rhododendron. Later in the year will come a yellow trumpet vine and jasmine but expecting the flowers to hang on until July/August might be too much. The rhododendron started as one down-trodden (by one of the grandchildren) flower 20 years ago.

Always a favourite corner of the garden because it gets the late afternoon Sun. Good for sitting and getting sleepy there.

Mart, That is so beautiful and romantic. An ideal place for someone to make a proposal of marriage!

I love the seat.

Re: Garden corner

The rhododendron is starting to drop now but the azalea looks even better for being a week or so on.

They are both beautiful, I wouldn’t have room for a Rhododendron, but I may add an azalea, what type of soil do you have ,mart?
