Azalea Temple

A few weeks back my wife and I went to a temple renown for its azalea bushes - all 50,000 of them! The temple grounds is 18.5 acres and literally covered in them. Each April they explode into flower and it is quite a spectacle. Check out this video for a closer look.

That garden appeals to all the senses. Love the sound of the wind in the
trees and the water. What a relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

I can't even say how much I would like to visit there! The azaleas are amazing and the maples (my second favorite plant after orchids) are beautiful. Thanks!
