On the way to work this morning I noticed that most azaleas are in full bloom now. 2 weeks late, as it turns out for the Azalea Festival in Wilmington, but spectacular none the less.
If you have never seen the azaleas in bloom at Orton Plantation you must stop what you are doing and drive over there right now. It is a sight to see!
It seems to me that people either love or hate azaleas. They spend 50 weeks or so a year as a boring green bush. The other 2 weeks are a vibrant display of color and beauty.
You don't realize just how many azaleas are in the Southport area until they burst with flowers and mark the beginning of Spring.
Perhaps that 2 week period is all it takes to remind us of the true beauty of nature.
