I came out of my apartment on Tuesday to a beautiful day with blue skies and azaleas in bloom. Using my phone, I had to try and capture the wonderful moment. This is the view of the courtyard and blue sky from my second floor home.

Blue Skies & Spring Blossoms

Last year in my neighborhood I discovered a beautiful small tree with spring white blossoms. I shared it in a post on March 7th. I talked to the home owner, and he didn’t know the name of the tree. It was a gift from his uncle a few years ago. I studied the size, shape, and blossoms of the tree and I believe it is a large azalea grown as a tree.

Spectacular flower masses and colors, plant form, and evergreen foliage are among the reasons for the popularity of azaleas. Florida azaleas bloom from late February to early April, depending on cultivar and seasonal variation. Many azalea cultivars grow well in north and central Florida.
