Azaleas at Leith Place, Surrey (National Trust)

The Azaleas were in full bloom at Leith Place on Sunday - a wonderful display but very difficult to capture on a very bright day. Azaleas belong to the Rhododendron family so all azaleas are rhododendrons but not all rhododendrons are Azaleas. Most Azaleas are deciduous, while most Rhododendrons are evergreen. Azaleas have tubular or funnel shaped flowers; Rhododendrons  are more bell shaped.
