We depend on our readers as the primary source of informative azalea-related articles in The Azalean. We welcome articles, whether rough or polished, on any and all aspects of azaleas, such as their care, their use in the landscape, azalea gardens, azaleas in the wild, azalea festivals, azalea hybrid groups, new azalea introductions, companion plants, . . ., and anything else relating to azaleas. Our editor, Kathy Jentz, is ready to work with authors as appropriate. Send her an e-mail to discuss your interest in writing an article, or to send her your article. She prefers to get articles as Microsoft Word documents, with pictures as JPEG files at least 4 x 6 inches at 300 pixels per inch.
