I am from England so obviously prefer to spell colourful this way. My website has a lot of American readers and this causes me a dilemma over which spelling to use for several words. In the end though, I usually can not resist the urge to use the English version. It just feels wrong to spell words another way... I liked your pictures but being a macro photographer felt that you should have got even closer! <abbr><em>Marvin Africas last blog post..<a href="http://macrophotographyforbeginners.blogspot.com/2008/10/coin-photography-small-objects.html" rel="nofollow">Close-up Photography of Small Objects</a></abbr></em><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: url dashes, 3 --> I didn’t realise that Canadian English was different to American English!

They grow well in the acidic soil around pine trees and therefore are great in the south. Yours are gorgeous. At our botanical garden I saw a variety that was a combination peach and pink color... just gorgeous!<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> Aren’t rhododendrons essentially the same as azaleas?
