Rhododendron periclymenoides 25/8 Restock glaucous blue cast of thePinxterbloom is the wild azalea of the eastern woods, a hardy native that hangs its soft pink flowers along the branches in mid spring, just before the leaves catch up. The funnel shaped blooms, pale pink to nearly white, throw long curving stamens well past the petals, giving the whole shrub a hazy, spidery lightness, and carry a faint sweet scent on a warm day. Few native shrubs say spring so plainly. The names are a small history lesson. Dutch
