Pink swamp azalea 'Betty Cummins'

The Green Man planned to do a post on the delights of our native swamp azalea, which is white. Then, he spotted a pink variation at Rare Find Nursery, who have a few left. Don't hesitate, get this. Or get some white swamp azaleas, too. http://www.rarefindnursery.com/index.php/azaleas/r-azalea-deciduous/r-azalea-deciduous-viscosum-betty-cummins.html

The "dove tree" makes a spectacular specimen in your landscape

Saint John's Eve 2015 The dove tree is a small but visually striking specimen tree for poetic spaces in the landscape. Besides the remarkable dove-like bracts produced by the tree, it also features magnificent exfoliating bark for year 'round interest.
