I'm not that keen on rhodos but they can be a splendid sight at tis time of year. In my garden, an astonishingly orange azalea is just going over. I would never have planted it but it does dazzle through the gloom.

No, I'm not a big fan of rhododendrons either - with them, it's an amazing display for a few weeks, followed by a year of gloom...

But I do have a soft spot for orange azaleas.

A beautiful walk through the gardens!
Rhodos and azaleas are always stunning.

I should visit these gardens more often in May. The rhododendrons and azaleas are stunning.

Those are so, so lovely. Wow, it's difficult to believe that such places exist. Oh, to have such walks available--I'd never be indoors.

Heh! Yes, it always feels like a sin to be indoors in May...

It looks beautiful. I will have to go.

Minterne Gardens are amazing. It's well worth a bit of trek across Dorset to visit, especially at this time of year when the azaleas are in flower, or at the end of October, when the Japanese Maples are always stunning.

And there are some fabulous walks in that area, along the Cerne Valley. A few years ago, a friend and I walked to Minterne Gardens from Cerne Abbas, and it was such a beautiful walk.
