Azaleas


East Texas is well-known for its beautiful azaleas which bloom in early spring.  Nacogdoches has an annual Azalea Trail where one can take various driving routes throughout the city to view some of the lovely landscapes.


Even the historic Oak Lawn Cemetery bursts into bloom.

The azaleas are gorgeous! So profuse. They are blooming like crazy here, too, but I have yet to take any photos yet and I really should!

I LOVE azaleas! They remind me of Virginia & Alabama in the spring. We lived in a house once in Va that was on the water, and there were hundreds of azaleas and dogwood trees. Every spring the grounds looked like an iced cake!

How beautiful these are, Kathy, and I cannot wait to begin to see them here. Going to have to wait a bit though, as we are getting more snow today. :-(
