These are some photos I took yesterday at Exbury Gardens near Southampton,
200 acres of mainly Azaleas and Rhododendrons planted by Lionel de
Rothschild (and his train set). As usual I have packaged them under one
post, if you prefer photos posted separately in future then let me know.

Thanks for those, Bob. Although I'm not a lover of rhododendron (because of
their invasiveness and lack of hospitality to other life) I remember well
the glorious scent of an azalea on the Two Sisters' Lawn at Hever Castle,
right next to where we used to camp every May. Then yesterday I saw a small,
exquisitely vibrant red bush in a friends' garden and he said it was an
azalea.

So perhaps they're not all bad :-)
