p.1 #1#1177 Candy Cane Azalea
Going to stretch this entry subject a tad by using the colors of a "normal" Holiday candy cane for my entry. Yes there is a "Candy Cane" Azalea.......It looks identical but this was a Mother's Day gift -17 years ago and there was no tag. So I won't call it that per the nursery tags absence.
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks Steve! I am not thrilled having the only entry. I enjoy each members "take" on the subject. Makes me use my brain and try to go "outside the dots". It worked well here. Thank you Mother Nature!

Lovely Dan. As a gardener I looked into if it is hardy to my area. From my quick search unless there is an evergreen variety unlikely to survive our cold winters. I'll search some more.

Which camera and lens did you use?

Our azeleas are pretty hardy here! But they do loose their leaves in the dead of Winter. If we have a mild winter, the leaves will stay on. In fact it was so mild many years ago that all my azeleas bloomed in January!
I used a Canon 5DSr and Canon 180mm Macro
Thanks!
