Azalea Postcards

I wish to thank my friend Linda for showing me this postcard. I had heard that the road coming in to Cypress Gardens was lined with azaleas. All of these azaleas were destroyed by heavy equipment after Hurricane Hugo 1989. I started replanting azaleas about 10 years ago along the road, but it will take years to restore this old azalea allie.
