Description
If you have been back east and have traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway during the Spring, you would have seen many plants with fragrant flowers.If you have traveled to places such as Providence Canyon, Gregory Bald, or Big Thicket, you have seen the same.
In California, if you have been to Big Basin, Mount Tamalpais, or Stagecoach Hill, you have seen the same.
What you have seen are rhododendron species which are called deciduous azaleas.

In the East Coast and Gulf Coast there are fifteen deciduous azalea species, and in Oregon and California is found Rhododendron occidentale.
Deciduous azalea species and hybrids are very colorful, most can be planted in full sun as well as in an area of filtered and morning sun, and would be good for any garden.
On September 22, 7:30 PM, at Room 12 of the Hillview Community Center, 97 Hillview Avenue, Los Altos, the De Anza Chapter, American Rhododendron Society will present a program by Mike Stewart of Dover Nursery, who will tell about a 10 day excursion of the Great Smokies, in a program entitled American Azalea Species.
In our program, you can find out about an outstanding type of rhododendron for your garden.
