DATE: October 19, 2026                 TIME: 7:00 p.m. LOCATION: Bethesda Senior Center TOPIC: Native Azaleas GUEST SPEAKER: Charles Andrews. We were joined for our October meeting by Charles Andrews, immediate past president of the Azalea Society of America, who talked with us about native azaleas.  His presentation explored the native azaleas of the Southeast, highlighting their remarkable variety of colors, fragrances, sizes, and bloom times. With 12 of the 17 North American species found in Georgia, these deciduous, easy-care plants deserve a larger place in our gardens. Related Images:
