AZALEAS ANYONE?

Often called "royalty of the garden",

azaleas have enjoyed a particularly

robust and colorful Spring

in the St. Louis area,

due to our mild above average weather.

Azaleas are now known as a sub-species

of rhododendrums, and can be propogated by cuttings.

(You simply cut a 6-12" stem at the end,

insert into moist soil or potting mix,

and VOILA. An exact clone is now growing.)
