Are the azaleas blooming yet? (Summerville: backyard, park, area)

[Maryjane55us]

I try to plan my spring trip around the time the azaleas are in full bloom so would appreciate anyone notifying the board (or me) when they just start opening up (or budding.. that should give me a few days to plan).

Incidently, here in coastal NC I've seen a few buds trying to open on some of my own, which is why I asked.. Seems we may have an early spring again. If it's like last year, we'll get a late freeze and ruin the whole thing.

Unbelieveably, even the clock is being sprung forward this Sat nite. Seems earlier than usual.

I have already seen some azaleas in bloom around here. I would say in the next 2 weeks it could be in full bloom. I've got one in my backyard that is starting now.

The azaleas in my yard have been blooming for about 3 weeks. I have notice other's around the area starting to bloom as well. 2 weeks sounds like a good time table. I just hope the temps tomorrow night for the inland area doesn't get down to the 31 degree's they are saying. It might hurt some of the flower's that are starting to bloom.
