Don’t worry, I’m sure it’s just a phase. Indulging my delight in all things orange, with the return of the deciduous azalea, coming in to flower roundabouts now (yellows, reds, pinks, purples too, of course).
The Grand Display may possibly a little later than in previous years, but time enough to plan a visit to see both azaleas and rhododendrons in their glory.
Locally, the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park is a very good place to start. For those with a Facebook account, I include a link to an album of photographs taken on 8th May 2011. I’m thinking this was a Good Year, with an early warm spring, sunny summer and then Indian summer.

Windsor Great Park is also on my list, Nymans too. Wherever will I get the time!
