amazing azalea

stunning,

yes awesome - lucky to have this

I love it too Sticki! It's beautiful. I don't have any early flowering rhodys or azaleas....wish I did!mmmm...idea for spending latest voucher on Thursday....:))

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)

thank you for all your kind comments. it is definitely the best plant in the garden this month

Lovely to see all those lovely flowers, very pretty colour too!

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!

i'll try that ~ thanks sheila;
might take me a while to put comments on here while my fingers are crossed but i will do my best!

:-))) !

Beautiful Sticki. What a gorgeous colour.

Very pretty :)

I didn't know they flowered so early, it's gorgeous:-)

thank-you ~ its a real favourite of mine ~ i think its the way it delicately shapes itself!

Love the colour and the shape! As you say- really brightens up the garden at this time of year. :-)
