That's nice, can't wait to see colors like that around here.

Spring has sprung (at least in the South)! Travelling through South MS yesterday I noticed mostly red azaleas had bloomed. Maybe red blooms earlier?

Thanks for sharing the nice pics TR.

Yes, hummingbirds are here.

What are those day lilies in the bottom pic?

Only 2-1/2 months until I get to see flowers like that in person. Unless I make a pilgrimage southward which I am seriously thinking I need to do especially on a day like today when I am confined to the house by snow >:(

Northwoods, that is called a Texas wild azalea, in the rhododendron family of plants.

We have wild Rhodora up here, about the same color as that bush to the lower left. Grows in wetter softwood forest and spruce barrens.

Comes out in late May, early June.

Personally, if I am going to Texas, sent me west of the Pecos. I love that arid country. Hiked ALOT in Big Bend, Guatalupe Peak area.

Nice pics.

I'm going from Ft Worth to Austin this weekend. Going to leave a little early and go down 287 through the country it should be a nice ride. Will try to get some picx.

From Ft Worth to Austin you will have about an hours worth of 287, then 35 south. 287 comes through my county, and the blue bonnets are out down here, along with the dog woods, and the azaleas are coming on up country from here. Texas in the spring can be an incredibly beautiful scene.
