Brighton Dam Azaleas 2013

Posted on April 20, 2013 by AnnieRie

Definitely late blooming compared to last year. Lots of buds, just a few early bloomers.

I did quite a few errands today, but took a break and walked the gardens which opened last week. Many buds and a lovely blue sky with a few plants here and there bursting with color.

These early pink blossoms were scattered around the property but when you walked the trails it was mostly just greening up. Beautiful sunny day. Many people out. Give them a week and they will start popping.

It is still a serene setting for a walk.

The gardens on Brighton Dam Road are open daily until mid summer. No pets. No picnics.

About AnnieRie

Retired, I am following my dream of living in quiet western Howard County, a rural oasis, not far from the urban chaos, but just far enough. I love to cook, bake, garden, and travel. I volunteer at Howard County Conservancy, mostly supporting grounds, gardens, programs and activities. I love the things we do, particularly supporting events that show children all the wonders of nature, and the agricultural connection to their food.
