AZALEA TIME: HAPPY MACRO MONDAY

I love azaleas. All of ours are the cultivar "Pride of Mobile" and they are always reliable.
They love acid soil, so I put live oak leaf mold around the base each year.
Visit Lisa at http://lisaschaos.com/ to see more macros.


                      The shadows across the petals caught my eye in this shot.
I like this last one...it looks like notes on a music staff.

    Superb images of one of my favorite flowers! You're a few weeks ahead of us here in Dallas, but it's good to know what's on its way! Thanks for a great MM post.

    Such lovely shots. The top one is terrific as it catches the shimmer on the petals.

    I can hardly wait for mine to bloom but I have a few weeks to wait.
    The first shot is gorgeous and I love the shadow play one as well!

    Thanks for visiting.
