Rarejem, Willow You are right.
Get rid of the dead stuff. I see old flower stalks that should of been deadheaded after bloom.

Vicky, you have the same type of woodland area I have. Mostly under cedars, am I right??
I have to big rhodys that are well established, but even in winter I have to give them water. The trees have so many surface roots and will zap any water, faster than the plant can. I also use miracle grow for rhodys and pour it on the root base twice a year. Now when it come to azaleas, I have lost everyone I have tried to grow there. They just don't do well under my Cedars, Pines or Alders. So I will not try them again.

This is from last year, has geat buds to this year.
