You can see in this photo the plant on this end still has thelast of some surviving blooms. The next one, as you go down the 150 or so foot row of azaleas and so on get progressively worse.
I called the County Extension Agent and described what was going on and he was as baffled as I am. He said that it couldnt be diease but sounded like some kind of Herbicide had been sprayed on them. Could I have sprayed them with herbicide by accident? No I do Not spray anything on them EVER! Never had to!
