The sun is shining again and I like to show you now our white azaleas. We do have quite a number of different varieties again. Some are native and others we did purchase from our favorite nurseries like Durio Nursery in New Orleans. Pieter did take this first photo today from our largest azalea, the Mrs. G. G. GERBING - This Southern Indian hybrid is a sport of 'George Lindsey Taber' with pure whtie flowers to 3½ inches across. Just click on the Durio Nursery link if you are interested in this one.
These huge azaleas are across the creek near our second bridge so join me for an Azalea Garden Tour from Book an Event with us.
This photo I took on Sunday, March 27 when we had still heavy rain coming down on them...
This is a Rhododendron 'High Tide' and photo taken on the rainy Sunday... It looks majestic with its golden splashes and a hint of pink.
Another white azalea in our woodgarden where also the Rhododendron 'High Tide' is.
Native azalea near our gazebo.
Facing now away from the gazebo towards the greenhouse.
Still with rain drops... photo taken on March 27. This one shows splashes of pink.
A circle of white azaleas around a big oak tree. On the previous photo you can see the bridge across the creek where we started off...
- We know that we will be competing with the early birds for its fruits but it is so special to pick your own, home grown blue berries Vaccinium corymbosum in summer time!
- They are the Antioxidant SuperFruit from nature. They have so many great qualities like: Healthy Aging; Anti-Inflammatory Benefits; Cancer Prevention; Urinary Tract Health; Protection Against Stroke; Heart Health; Vision Health and more.
- Check out Wild Blueberries... Natures Antioxidant Superfruit.
- Let me show you now the blossoms of our blue berry bushes in our garden...
- Bumble bees feasting on the pollen...
STAY HEALTHY!
- On Sunday our Admiral Semmes Azaleas were weeping... look at their tears!
- The rain was so bad that I only had little time in-between showers to catch this for you!
- Such stunning blossoms from the Admiral Semmes Azalea make up for less sunny days.
- Only too bad that from an all week rain period they are badly damaged and we have to wait another year for capturing their beauty.
Admiral Semmes Azaleas are from the Confederate series in Our Garden
This is from last year...
Such a lovely yellow...
- Don't you agree that making a Garden Tour from Book an Event with us is worthwhile even when things look wet?
- Instead of tea or coffee with cake in the gazebo we of course can move inside...
Another variety in a paler yellow...
They all look so beautiful!
We actually got 2 Admiral Semmes Azaleas...
- Above you see Carolina Jasmine in the rain on Sunday...
- Regardless the tears, they're absolutely gorgeous and so fragrant!
- Our FIRST blooming roses! Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' Rose 'Lady Banks'.
- An old southern Garden favorite, this thornless climber has abundant but small lightly fragrant double yellow flowers.
- This rose is very adaptable and vigorous and requires much less special care than most roses. Native to China and available at Woodlanders.
- Two weeks ago our Forsythias were blooming at their best.
- The weather was warm and sunny at that time. Things have changed since Friday, last week...
- Forsythias make me always happy as they're telling that spring is advancing...
- Below you will see some Narcissus Hawera, they're late blooming. We have them spread from early till late blooming varieties.
- They're a small, yet elegant variety and fragrant as well.
