For nearly a decade, Don Hyatt has been researching the beautiful native azaleas
that grow wild the Eastern United States. There are actually 15 native species that
inhabit the region but many of them are difficult to tell apart. They are truly
some of the most lovely and alluring of our wilflowers,
but the regions in which they grow are often breathtaking too such as the view of
the Flame Azaleas on Roan Mountain shown below. Some of these pages were developed
in association with various talks he has given to garden clubs or plant societies.
