Azalea, I think...

I visited our local Arboretum, connected to the university. There are lots of new blooms in unusual colors. There are labels for many of the plants, but not on every one, hence, I "think" this is an Azelea.

Nice focus; beautiful color

Really nice. Really like the depth of field. I also think it is an azalea.

Very pretty - hoping to see some tomorrow if they don't freeze tonight. Headed for Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs where the tulips supposedly are at peak. Love the bright color against that background

Love the details and focus.

Spectacular color and beautifully composed shot!

I believe it’s a flame azalea. Lovely capture

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful focus and yes it’s an azalea

[Pat Knowles]

Lovely flash of rich colour at this time of the year!

This is very pretty!

My husband used to call these wild azaleas. He brought one back from the mountains, but it didn't thrive here.

Beautiful flower shot. I believe they do call it flame azalea. It’s such a beautiful color.

@randystreat I like that name!! I've tried to transplant wild plants from time to time, without much success!
