Trees and Shrubs: Azalea

Found in the southern Appalachians, these flowering shrubs are plentiful along some sections of the Appalachian Trail. There are a number of species of azaleas, all of which bloom in the late spring. The pink variety is called Pinxter flower while the red, orange, and yellow varieties are referred to as flame azalea.
