azaleas

I have started to prune some of the azalea bushes with unsightly spent flowers but there are a few plants  still in their glory.  This white one is a favourite and looks good in a vase.
When I came to this garden four years ago I felt a bit threatened by the azaleas which seemed to be everywhere.  I do enjoy them now, especially when they are in flower.  The different shades take turn to show off their colours.  I prune them once they have finished flowering and once the new growth start to mature the different hues of green provide a soothing background in the garden bed.
