The photograph above was taken this morning of the same area pictured below. We are on track to have beautiful azaleas for
Point-to-Point this weekend.
April 29, 2008
Point-to-Point weekend is often the high point of our azalea display and, already, Members and azalea lovers have started calling to find out if this will be the weekend when they reach their peak. Each day’s weather has an effect on the flowering of our azaleas – cool days tending to retard flowering and warm days accelerating the bloom. The photograph above was taken April 29th in a corner of Azalea Woods that comes into flower early, which illustrates one of the advantages of our rolling woodland terrain. With so many different microclimates at Winterthur, you are sure to see beautiful azaleas for several weeks during the spring. This year we will probably have our peak azalea display between May 4 and May 10.
