    Yep, poison all right! (First two pics anyway.) My eyeballs hurt now.

    The colors are beautiful but there is something "special" about plants in their native habit and habitat, isn't there? I see so many of these neighborhoods lately that all have the same things going on that it almost gets boring to look at them. I always think: how about some originality!

    I love color, even those colors in theory. But I am dazed.

    Rachel - at first I thought so too. Maybe I still think so. I'm not sure. It's too much. I think. Or is it?

    Teri - yes, then there are the suburban azaleas. Garden Rant had an interesting post about them. Thing is, while I like this clash of colour, somehow I am not compelled to think about it the way I think about the azalea in a natural setting.

    Frank - yes, dazed.
