Southern Indica Azaleas won't bloom - others are fine
Comments (5)I have GG Gerbing, George Tabor, Pride of Mobile, and Formosa southern indicas. They are just 2 - 3 years old and planted in partial shade. Last year I was greatly disappointed in the lack of blooms. This year, all varieties put on a beautiful blooming show. I wonder if the amount of water they get makes a huge difference. We watered throughout the drought last summer and into the fall. Not sure why they decided bloom so heavily this year. --Sharon...See MoreRobin Hill Azaleas

Comments (13)I have been taking "time of day" shots all around the property - you can look at that set of pages to see what my grounds look like. See the link below. Thanks for putting your brain power to this! And yes, you will see some tall things planted in front of short things... I had many things that I was not sure how big they were going to be when I planted them... so now I know, and I will be moving things around once they are finished flowering! Please feel free to suggest where they all could be moved to! I must confess, this property is exceptionally challenging. In reality, it is much more than my azalea bed that I need help designing. It's pretty much the whole property. There is a serious slope behind the house that I have not attempted to work in the 8 years I've been in the house. I feel I am just now gaining the skills to face that hill, and the rest of the property. The East side, where my tour starts, is where the veg garden used to be until the boundary dispute with the neighbor. I'm thinking of making that the tropical garden since it's such full sun. But how to lay it out? Not sure! I have other needs, too. Not that I have children yet, but at some point I think I will, so I need a children's play area, or the whole property needs to be designed to be a great place for kids to play (while not damaging my flowers!) I'd love to create an "outdoor room" where I could feel secluded and not feel as if all can see me if I choose to sunbathe. I'd love to create a shade garden in the eastern half of the hill (where it is quite shady) and eventually I will build a running stream water feature with all the river rock I have collected in the past eight years. I'd like to have a "master plan" so I know what needs to be done next, if you know what I mean, but hiring a designer isn't in the cards for us. I'm open to suggestions on how to go about transforming my property into a fully functional one! And yes, I think the pics will show, it is a low ranch. And I laid that marble on the front step and stoop myself! -Regina Here is a link that might be useful: Time of Day webpages for Regina's house...See MoreSherry8aNorthAL
