Japanese Azalea

It poured heavily and steadily all day until 4 pm when we saw some watery sunshine. We tackled a rampant honeysuckle which had intertwined with ivy and is beginning to strangle the magnolia Stellata. I want to give the magnolia some space to show off in. Six wheelbarrows later, we had not made a great impression and will continue tomorrow.
The Japanese Azalea is so small and neat and is looking particularly floriferous as it contrasts with the Stachys Lanata.
