Native to the streamsides of our north coast woodlands, the Western Azalea (Rhododendron occidentale) smells heavenly outside my office door. This one is about twelve feet tall.

Willits Daily Photo
A possibly naive attempt to photographically document my community, specifically Willits and Little Lake Valley. Like the hundreds of other city daily photo bloggers, my inspiration comes from the first, Eric Tenin of Paris Daily Photo. All photos and text, excluding comments of other authors, are copyright of Elaine Hamby © 2008 and 2009.

That's quite a spectacular plant. Do the wild and cultivated versions look the same?
You can buy them looking just like this at the nursery (or at least I can). I think there is some variation in the degree of pinkness, and this is on the whiter end of the scale. I read on Wikipedia that these have been used in the development of deciduous hybrids such as the Exbury varieties created in England.
Beautiful shot!
This is what I call beautiful flower shot! Well done.
Thank you Benjamin and iBlowfish! I caught a cloudy day when, luckily, the white didn't saturate on me.
My azalea came and went long ago. These are lovely. Azaleas and hydrangeas are some of my favorite flowers.
Elaine, Beautiful. Congratulations on the great shot and growing a lovely flower.
