Bursting forth in beautiful blooms, azaleas throughout the state - and this one of many in Beebe - have come forth in an array of gorgeous colors. Driving around town you will see thousands of azalea bushes in colors from white to a brilliant fuchsia. The azalea above is 52-years old and was given to my mother when my sister was born. It was transplanted from No. Little Rock when we moved here in 1968. It is among about 12 azalea bushes at our home here in Beebe. (Photo by Lee “Cat” McLane)
