Christmas azalea

I was pretty surprised to see this azalea blooming in our garden in late December – and just this one flower.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Lovely light on this surprise flower. We have some unseasonable blooms in the garden as well.

I was surprised to see several azalea bushes blooming when we were in DC in the middle of the month. Nice to see color this time of year.

A late bloomer for sure, but with such a lovely color.

Strange indeed. I had it last year too and with our present temperatures of 14°C it is possible again.
