Brighton Dam Azalea Garden

As you may have noticed, most of my posts recently involve nature. That is because there are so many amazing things to see and share this time of year. Here's another one.

The azaleas in our yard have just started to bloom, so I thought it was time to check in on the Brighton Dam Azalea Garden which has five acres and over 20,000 azaleas to see. Although the garden was in the beginning stages blooming, there were still several varieties providing a beautiful show. Here are a few of the sights.

One of these pictures is not an azalea. Can you pick which one?



Answer: The lower left white flowers are dogwood blooms.

  1. I just had a stupid thought. I thought, "gee, where have I heard of Brighton Dam Azalea Garden?" Then I realized it was on your blog, last year!
    The azaleas look beautiful.

    1. Now that we've discovered this garden, I hope to go every year at this time.

      Do you grow azaleas where you are?

    2. Yes, azaleas and rhodies do very well in our area, with the acid soil here. There are a few rhododendrons that are about 40 years old in our neighborhood. They look more like trees than shrubs.

  2. Nope, can't pick out the non-azalea. My complex thought process for this is, "oh, pretty!". :)
