Azalea Walk Photos

Every spring I look forward to walking through the U.S. National Arboretum's fantastic Azalea collections. The woods seem to burst with every color azalea in existence and it's a beautiful hike through the azalea laden forest. According to the Friends of the National Arboretum Save the Azalea & Boxwood Collections brochure, "nearly 10,000 azaleas cover Mount Hamilton at the U.S. National Arboretum in a blaze of color. The annual spectacle draws as many as 100,000 visitors to the Arboretum during peak blooming season in April and May."
