Whoa! Weerobin, I had no idea deutzias are so varied, and diversified! Some beauty. When I moved here, the previous owner had those in the front yard, I promptly moved them in the backyard for I wanted a more colorful front of the border. Mine, are diminutive in forms and has tiny white blooms.

Speediebean, the blue bell-like flowers are some sort of seberian squill I do think. I planted them in my small shade garden to the sideyard, and I've found them scattered in various places, which I love for those unlikely place where they pop up has poor soil condition. I think but not sure; squirrels may have stolen the bulbs and hid them where the plant germinated and flourished. I love those kind of "invasiveness" lol

Donna, here is an example of the native Azaleas. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/136324/ They're extensively hybridized and available in the market. I felt in love with this type of flowers years ago. Has a neighbor that has a hedge of them in the backyard. Only she "whacked" them off in wrong time of the year, and some spring I wanted to cry for all the flowers were inadvertently sheered off.

Another neighbor has this lovely pink blooming one;

I'd be so tickled that I personally introduce these lovely Azaleas to some of you. ~grin.
