Native Azalea collection

I will be traveling through Georgia and Alabama this next week collecting rare native azalea cuttings. These will later be added to our rapidly growing collection here at Magnolia. Thanks to Maarten van der Giessen in Mobile, We now have the collection of Dr. Aromi's Hybrids. Very soon we will have a collection of Dr. Smitherman's hybrids. He is a hybridizer in Auburn Alabama. Ernest Koone III from Pine Mountain is helping us design our native azalea garden, and I am meeting him and Hank Bruno, The Director at Callaway Gardens this week.
I will post an updated blog when I return.
