Pinxterbloom Azalea found in the lower Appalacian mountains, piedmont and coastal plains from Massachusetts to north Georgia and Alabama. The white to pink flowers open in mid-spring as the foliage is expanding; they are slightly fragrant. The blossoms measure approximately 1 to 1.5 inches. I've found it growing along the roadsides in some of the southern areas of St. Clair county. I don't seem to see it anywhere else ... but feel sure that it's there ... somewhere. Some people also call it a wild azalea or bush honeysuckle. |
