Royalty

Uploaded: April 27, 2012

Description

Azaleas are called "the royalty of the garden".

Azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurel (Kalmia) are mildly toxic when eaten by animals, and may cause abdominal and cardiovascular problems. All parts of the plants are toxic, as is honey from the flowers.

The cut off end of the stem of the azalea is called a 'cutting'. By rooting a cutting, you can make an exact copy, or "clone", of the plant. Rooting a cutting is also called "asexual reproduction" or "cloning".

"Happy Planting"!

My Azalea doesn't look this good Lorraine, what a burst of color for spring!
Thanks for you comment on my Jimmy's Creek image, there are a large variety of fresh water fish in the lake and streams around there, including the huge Murray Cod (it can weigh over 100 pounds), several species of perch and and a host of other fish! I think it is a bit too warm for trout though! #10111766
