Woodland ablaze

In the woodland at RHS Harlow Carr the azaleas and rhododendrons were in full bloom. They provide a very attractive blaze of colour.  Many of the shrubs are now really old and rather 'leggy' and untidy, but they are still worth seeing. 



The woodland is perhaps a little more sheltered than some spots so the camellias and magnolias seemed a bit fresher - less brown and frost-shrivelled than most of those I've noticed locally. 

I rather liked this unusual cherry red magnolia:

  3. We have azaleas and rhododendrons here in a private park by the Weser. In May the huge azaleas smell absolutely heavenly.
