Wild azalea

Here is Rhododendron canescens of the family ericaceae:



This is a native shrub and is found as far north as Pennsylvania.  The flower above was found on the Brandon Property off of Shiloh road southeast of the city of Brandon Mississippi (the same Brandon mentioned in Apocalypse Now).  I was made aware of the this particular plant by Virgina last year at the start of April and took this picture on April 3, 2009.
