3: The Azaleas  

Along the walking path in the garden, we can see the azaleas covering the hillside, which burst into rose, white, and the palest pink in spring. Azalea varieties grown in the garden include Rhododendron Indica, Formosa, Fielder's White and Red Bird. These azaleas produce the boldest spash of color to be found in the garden. Japanese gardens are designed to showcase the greenery of shrubs and trees and are generally more monochronomic than Western-style gardens which emphasize the colors of blooming plants. The dominance of greenery creates a serene and restive quality in the garden.
