Beautiful azalea garden and palms, Florida, 1946

About this postcard

A dense bed of red, white, and pink azaleas in full bloom fills the foreground, backed by tall palms and thick green shrubbery. A white building with a red roof shows through the trees under a pale blue sky. The scene fits Florida's long-running souvenir image as a winter garden, with azaleas, palms, and citrus promoted to northern visitors. The note on the back places the sender in Miami in 1946, bathing nearly every day and taking in the races at Hialeah Park, a seasonal draw for winter visitors.
