{Our Mrs. G. G. GERBING Azaleas}

One of our prettiest Azaleas is for sure the Mrs. G.G. GERBING Azalea with its huge white flowers!
Again, during my garden tour on April 12, with perfect sunlight I could make these photos.
Are they not a dream?
In the back you see the red from our Acer Rubrum or Red Maple. 

Stepping back now so you can see the wooden bridge over our creek. One of 3.
To the left you see our Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold and the Italian Cypress in front of the balcony, the Gazebo is visible as well. Next is our Acer saccharum Marshall or Sugar Maple tree.
To the right you see the Acer Rubrum or Red Maple more visible and also the Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold Yellow Box Elder to the right of the rubrum.
A bit closer and all 3 Acers you can see in the back as well.
Lovely contrast of colors against this pure white Azalea with its large flowers!
This really is the LOVELIEST time of the year!
The fall has its colors as well but not such lovely flowers...
Don't you LOVE them too?
Just a hint of green on those pure white petals.
Hope you too have Azaleas to enjoy in your garden!

  1. Well, I don't have Azaleas but I certainly enjoyed seeing yours. They are absolutely beautiful. I love white flowers, especially daisies, and find them to be so calming and elegant. Your garden is lovely. We are still waiting for flowers here in Ontario, Canada. I am anxious for our lilacs to bloom. Have a wonderful weekend, Mariette. Deb

  8. I do have azaleas in my garden. Although in our hot climate it is a job to keep the water up seeing we pay some of the highest water rates in the world.

  10. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a lovely comment, your blog is lovely and your flowers are beautiful, I had azaleas in my garden for a few years but they didn't do so well in the end I had to dig them out, I don't think that my soil was suitable. Enjoy your weekend. :)

  19. Liebe Mariette,
    deine Azaleen sind ein Pracht. Gerade auf meinen Reisen durch Asien
    habe ich die Vielfalt dieser Blüten kennengelernt. Seither bin ich ein großer
    Fan der Azalee.
    Einen schönen Sonntag wünscht Dir
    Irmi

  25. Auch sehr schön! Azaleen und Rhododendren haben wir nicht, dazu ist unser Garten zu klein bzw. so viel Arbeit mit Pflanzen etc. wollten wir uns nicht mehr machen, denn wir bleiben hier ja nicht bis an unser Lebensende, da lohnt es nicht. Aber ich schaue mir auf Spaziergängen immer sehr gern und ganz ohne die viele Arbeit zu haben, die Gärten Anderer oder auch Botanische Gärten an, wo auch all diese Dinge wachsen.
    Euer Haus sieht übrigens sehr schön aus, es lacht mich jetzt immer in groß aus Deinem Header an. :-)

    Liebe Grüße auch hier
