80 degrees and it's 2 days before Christmas!  Oh the bliss of getting outside without a half dozen layers of clothing!!!

I've had a drawing accepted for the Flor500.  Artwork of native Florida plants by artists living in Florida.  My little drawing is of the Sweet Pinxter Azalea.  

I have some native azaleas just outside my front door, here in Florida, which I've never seen in bloom.  The 2 native azaleas I had in Virgina were moved to a friends garden, but did not live after the first bloom.  At least I have photos of them.
