Re: Not Sure What These Are.
The flower appears to be Rhododendron calendulaceum (Flame Azalea). This is a deciduous shrub that grows 6-8 ft. (1.8-2.4 m) in height, usually spaced 6-8 ft. apart. Flame azalea occurs in the Appalachian Mountains from southern Pennsylvania and southeastern Ohio south to northern Georgia and northern Alabama. Historically it has been reported as far north as southeastern New York. The status of flame azalea in New York and Maryland is undetermined. Although historically reported in these states, no extant populations are known. Flame azalea is listed as endangered in Ohio. It is secure throughout the rest of its range.
