But first, another shot of my neighbor’s hydrangea tree, to give you a better idea of how huge this thing is.
The house was built in 1962 and I bet the hydrangea is almost that old too.
Azaleas coming up. Warning — there are a lot of pictures, and they are large.

Teri bemoans the lack of beautiful azaleas this week at the Masters’. We in northern Alabama are overrun with them this spring, and I promised her some pictures (which I will post a bit later, after I’ve gone out with the camera).
Meanwhile… This hydrangea tree is flourishing in my next-door neighbor’s yard. I see it every morning from my bedroom window, and I’ve been promising myself for the last ten springs that I would photograph it in all its glory.
Thanks, Teri, for the reason to do so.
The camellia bush at the corner of my house is huge – it is taller than the roofline and measures probably fifteen feet from side to side. It’s so big, in fact, that I had a great deal of trouble taking a picture of the whole thing.
These pictures were taken on January 10, 2005. We had a couple of very cold weekends in late December, but the past week or two has been quite warm, with high temperatures near 70°.
The camellia is confused into thinking it’ s spring.
It’s supposed to get cold again this coming weekend, with low temperatures below freezing. This will be a good thing to help kill off the nasty insects before spring really arrives, but the camellia probably won’t enjoy it.
