Several azalea specimens in the azalea collection at the US National Arboretum; these are all "Glenn Dale" hybrid varieties, distinguished by the spotted throats, bred by the National Arboretum at an introduction station in Glenn Dale, Maryland (about 2 km from my house!). In the Arboretum, Washington, DC, 20180505.

Just intended to take a walk, but the #shrine Nagaoka Tenjin (長岡天満宮) had not only its trademark red #azaleas but also the first #wisteria I've seen blossoming this year. So after most of my life in #Japan, I was back in #tourist mode snapping #photos. Some local people struck up a conversation, unusual not because it was in #Japanese but because Japanese usually don't talk to strangers. The answer was that they turned out to be Jehovah's Witnesses!
