Azalea Bloom

Every year in February - right around February 14th - the Azalea along the front walkway produces the most beautiful magenta flowers for a few weeks.  Then when the flowers drop, the shrub goes back to being a boring shrub until next February.  Every year I've tried to remember to get pictures, but FINALLY this year (now that I have the time to think!) I got pictures of her at her prime.  The magenta color reminds me of my mother's lipstick :D
