And the wisteria--I've heard it's awfully aggressive, but it's oh so beautiful. <br /><br />I missed your earlier post with my favorite iris of yours--'Jesse's Song.' So glad I scrolled down to see it in all its glory. Your garden is beautiful in the the springtime!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-50492695282250082482012-04-03T21:58:35.746-04:002012-04-03T21:58:35.746-04:00Every year when the native azaleas bloom, I wonder...Every year when the native azaleas bloom, I wonder why more nurseries don't grow them.

The third one was planted last spring and had a rough summer. It died back a good bit. It was one of the pink ones. I can't wait for it to get larger and have some blooms.
