I planted some of those rhododendrons and azaleas like Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:32:26 GMT Hale Booth http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/azaleas/message/13849 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/azaleas/message/13849 Don, When we toured your garden last spring you had several 25 +foot tall Rhododendrons, Caroline I believe, in your back yard.

The flowers are almost too big for the stem Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:32:13 GMT Dan Krabill http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/azaleas/message/13846 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/azaleas/message/13846 Mike, I have bought Apricot twice beginning in 1993.

Neither plant has grown for me, Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:28:43 GMT Mike Creel http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/azaleas/message/13845 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/azaleas/message/13845 I am forwarding this message and photo from John Migas.
