I wasn’t kidding, and I’m not doing this to annoy certain people in New York who are dealing with snow, yet again.
Those are the two pear trees across the street from me at the top.
In the middle are the two types of drawf double-bloom azaleas that are normally hidden by the much larger fuchsia and pink full-size bushes in the bottom picture.
Update: New York isn’t as bad off as Canada’s east coast.

Lovely flowers; thanks for the pics. We have a few scraggly patches of flowers bequeathed us by the former tenant; they spring up every year, we do nothing to/for them, and they repeat the appearance the following year.
No bright colors here today, though; we’re getting the steady sprinkle that you’ll probably get in a few days. It was only a sprinkle, honest, but it continued for over 12 hours while I sat by the window, and the puddles in the yard were awfully deep… I didn’t watch news today, but I suspect we had a few floods, maybe more.
Stella is grateful I’ve lost my voice to this cold. I think if she could arrange for such loss more often, she’d do so… 😈
I have a good close-up of what appear to be white azaleas in these pictures. They are pink, and my favorite. After you establish an azalea bush they last for years. The only ‘care’ I’ve provided since they became established was cutting them back. There are still a lot of buds before they quit.
The front that is sitting off your coast is up on the Alabama-Florida line with plenty of rain to the north, but we have gotten nothing but overcast skies. Maybe tomorrow…
I’m coughing, but it is from all of the pollen, not an illness. I hate colds in warm weather, they are the pits. Lemon, honey, and bourbon in a good green tea help to make life better.
