Azaelas, bonsai, and more!

It is time for the Azaela festival!

The National Arboretum has a huge garden of azaelas that when they are in bloom are a beautiful mass of color. This Saturday is supposed to be a beautiful day and the Azaelas should be in good form. So come one, come all!

I am toying with the idea of having a picinic brunch beforehand on the gras at the arboretum--so let me know if you are interested in doing that.

The plan:

Meet at my house April 25, 2009 at 8:30AM
Carpool to the arboretum (not really metro accessible)
Possible brunch on the lawn at the arboretum
See the azaela collection along with the bonsais, capital columns, etc. etc. (there is a LOT of ground to cover at the arboretum)
Return as needed, but likely everyone will be back before 1 (in time to wash your car on a beautiful day!)

Please RSVP and let me know what you think of the potluck brunch idea. --if you want to see pictures of last year's azealas search my personal blog for my photos and/or see http://www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/collections/azaleablossom.html#Apr16
