The azaleas are out!

These are “ziggy” azaleas, and like roses which by any other name still smell as sweet …

… they are still beautiful no matter what they’re called.
Happy weekend. 🌸

Many of us are getting this …

and this …

when we would rather be having a little of this …

and a bit of that …

Unfortunately, we have to be patient.
Over the past week, Cathy at Words and Herbs encouraged people to post flower photos to help chase away the winter blahs, but since all good things come to an end, today is the last one of the series.
I’m not much of a joiner when it comes to blogging challenges, but this has been fun, and especially seeing the posts from other participants. So thank you to Cathy for this great idea and also to Jude from Cornwall in Colours through whom I first discovered the challenge.
Today I’m posting a number of favourite flower photos from May, June and July – good memories of summer.




And last but not least …

Happy summer memories – it will soon be back.

These white azaleas (also known as white rhododendrons) are almost finished blooming but are still active in micro-locations where it has perhaps been a little cooler or a little more shaded until recently.
I love how extravagantly rich and showy they are; they hold nothing back!
Happy Monday.
