Azalea Season – SOOC
Azaleas are in bloom all over the place. I brought in some red ones and put them in a vase; my husband said, what are those called again? He said they are in bloom around his work building.
I grew up in a neighborhood which was awash in gorgeous azaleas of every possible color.
And so even after all these years, azaleas always make me think of Shavuot...
Thanks, Happy Lag BaOmer to you, as well! Trying to think if I should write a post in honor of the holiday - but it's much more interesting in Israel than here. Few bonfires if at all - even Chabad has to get permission.
I think Azaleas are beautiful. Unfortunately I do not have enough acidic soil to grow them. So, I have to look at them in others gardens. Thanks for sharing. Valerie
