Azaleas in January by AuntDot
Though it’s winter here in Florida, some of my azaleas are blooming. This pink and white variegated one has a fairly large flower. Photographed in my yard in Dunnellon, Florida in January 2012.

Thank you, Sylvia. There aren’t too many blooms this time of year, but a few anyway.

very pretty, Dot
Thanks, Carol. The big “bloom” will be sometime in March around here.

Beautiful – they’re growing indoors in pots here, too, but definitely not outdoors in the snow!
Just a few blooming here since we’ve had some pretty cold nights. Most will bloom in March.

Looks like early spring, the seasons are a little up and down. They are beautiful blooms, love the colour, wonderful capture Dot.
It’s quite different here in Florida. Many of the azaleas bloom two or more times a year. A frost (it happens overnight usually once or twice a year) will kill the blossoms. I have one bush in the front of the house where the blooms froze on the side away from the house, but those that were facing the house survived. I guess they were just a mite warmer.
