The other day the steps were just steps. This morning there are lots and lots of azaleas in pots all over the steps. Does anyone know why? They’ll be beautiful when they bloom, which shouldn’t be long now.

Google up "azaleas, Spanish steps" for past photos of the plants in bloom. :O)

That sounds beautiful - we will be in Rome the first week of May hopefully they are still in bloom then!
