Off-topic - I would like to invite everyone to our American Rhododendron Society - Azalea Chapter annual Flower Show & Plant Sale at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens on April 16th 12:30 - late afternoon. I've posted more details and links below.
This is a great outing for everyone, including children and adults with disabilities. They love the garden and flowers. Take a tour of the Botanical Gardens while you come and see the Azalea Show. They have a spectacular children's garden!!
It's not too late to join, and put some clippings from your yard in the show as well!! We can teach you how!!

The Azalea Chapter Annual Flower Show. Dr. Joe Coleman, Chairman, Flower Show Committee
The Azalea Chapter Annual Plant Sale, Hugh Denny, Chairman, Plant Sale Committee
Program at 2:00 PM in Arts and Crafts Room: Steve Yeatts,
"In Search of Native Rhododendron and other Native Plants"
The Chapter Annual Flower Show truly brings out the best of the Chapter membership. Our members select the finest blooms from their gardens, shape the material for presentation and present the results at the show for others to enjoy.
Joe Coleman, a master rhododendron specialist is in charge of this year’s show. Joe and wife, Donna, won the Best in Show award last year and past flower show tradition strongly suggests that such winners serve as the show coordinator the next year. What a wonderful tradition and how thankful we are to have Joe and Donna in charge of this year’s show.
The Chapter urges you to consider participating in the show by exhibiting some your rhododendron or azaleas. If needed, assistance will be given to those not accustomed to exhibiting. Contact Joe Coleman (770-482-1289 or jcoleazalea@hotmail.com) for answers to questions and directions on bringing materials to the show.
Hugh Denny (404-633-9363 or hugh.denny@gtri.gatech.edu) is in charge of the Chapter Plant Sale held at the same time as the Flower Show. Members are encouraged to donate plants to the sale and to help support the Chapter. Contributions of azaleas, rhododendron and other plants are eagerly sought. Chapter members who support the show or sale are exempt from paying the normal ABG admission charges. When entering the garden, explain to the attendant that you are helping with the Show or Sale.
At 2:00 PM, there will be a presentation by member Steve Yeatts. Steve Yeatts, Azalea Chapter member and noted plantsman will share some of his experiences in hunting for various native plants throughout the Southeast. Steve's particular interests are native azaleas and trilliums. Steve and other noted associates conduct extensive plant search trips every year, traveling to various locations. Steve will present a power point presentation highlighting many of these trips and the plants found.
