never quite sure if this is azalea or rhodedendron; but whichever it is i love it, the delicateness of its shape and flowers and the brilliance of its colour brightening up the whole garden.

it was in the garden when we came 6 years ago but its grown since ~ probably a bit choked by the camellia next to it? or the laurel hedge that used to be behind it?

I like the way it's grown all spindly, it look very elegant and sort of oriental...lovely!

I`m not sure either Sticki but it is lovely whichever it is. :o)

Really pretty . . . have you tried taking cuttings?!

no ~ i dont know how ~ is it very difficult?

No - but you'd need a short, non-flowering stem, and it looks as if your plant is covered in flowers! If you can find one, cut off a piece about 4" long (just below a leaf joint), dip the end into rooting powder, then push into a pot of moist compost. Keep frost-free and cross your fingers!

might take me a while to put comments on here while my fingers are crossed but i will do my best!
