About the Azalea
Azalea is the name given to the various spectacular flowering shrubs
(genus Rhododendron) of the Heath family that are in full
bloom each spring in Houston, Texas. These showy flowers flourish at seven Houston locations in
varying shades of pink, purple, white, red, and yellow and
are a magnificent sight to behold.
In 1927, the River Oaks Garden Club was organized by 27 residents of the new River Oaks area. It was not until 1935 that they held the first Garden Pilgrimage as it was called then. Learn more (PDF).
