My precious white azalea… I am linking to Cathy of Words and Herbs, this week, who is hosting this seasonal Week of Flowers… My azalea has been struggling, after something ate most of its roots last year. It normally flowers around Christmas time, but this amazing flower turned up mid summer. It looks as though it…
