This Plant Is Not Very Smart
02/20/2008
This is an azalea, one of many in our yard.
Every year, we have some warm days in February. Every year, the azaleas bloom enthusiastically. Nothing will convince them that the warm weather is not here to stay. And almost every year we get a freeze in late February or early March that reduces these blossoms to something that looks like wet brown tissue paper.
They never learn. Oh, well, they’re pretty while they last.
