Cascading azaleas

Although we've been here several times before, we decided to make a spring visit Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, the home of Marjorie Merriweather Post, legendary heiress of General Foods, diplomat, philanthropist and distinguished collector of French and Russian art and jewelry. We were there just slightly past peak for some of its many azaleas and rhododendrons, but still the grounds were lovely at this time of year.

Glorious profusion of colour and as David says, the size of the azaleas is amazing. Fabulous shot. V

the sheer size of the azaleas is amazing...up here they max out at 3-4 feet..
