Happy, you've seen a Valley Valentine pieris at my place. Let me see if I can find a picture... It didn't bloom this year, probably because it was planted late last fall.

Gita and Paul, I actually had a nice Roseum Elegans -- before I killed it. :( I think it was purchased at a big box store, either HD or Lowe's.

I'm still looking for a pink deciduous azalea for my backyard. I like the ones that are tall and have a loose form to them. I saw one at the Friends of the Arboretum sale, and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up then!

Pics 1 and 2 each has a pieris, and one of them is Valley Valentine. In the first pic, it's in front of the taller hydrangea and next to the Caramel heuchera. In the second pic, it's between the Japanese conifer and Citronelle heuchera.

Just for fun, Pic 3 is Fall of 2012, right after we had the fencing put in. Catmint, this entire area was sheet mulched last year to kill the weeds and grass.
