Is that an azalea, Tommy? Or a rhododendron perhaps?

Hello Dwyllis

My wife brought the plant from our local Tesco three years ago labelled Azalea and it was two years ago when it had finished flowering that I moved it from my back to front garden and put it amongst those what I called "Blind Wallflower" and I forgot it was even there. The wall flowers that had been hiding the re-discovered Azalea were as tough as old brussel sprout plants and to be honest I had quite a job to pull the things out of the ground. I had to enlist the help of my dear wife. The Camellia reminds me of a jungle plant seeing light for the first time and fighting to be first to the top of the canopy.

Hi Dwillis. I typed in Azalie into the botanical name and rhododendron appeared. The plants is still growing strong, been covering on frosty nights or a wind chill day but new growth appearing. Must be this weather......
