Many thanks. Hopefully this will help.

I moved into a new house last November. I have what I thought was an azalea and was looking forward to a mass of pink or purple in the spring, but I see now that it has green flowers growing up from it. Also, it doesn't seem to have lost its leaves over the winter, which I think perhaps azaleas do.
Is it a species of azalea, or have I got it totally wrong?

Can't help with identification but my azalea does keep its leaves all winter.

Sounds unlikely to be an azalea but without a photo it's extremely difficult to say.

I would suspect that those green flowers are actually buds that have yet to open. A picture will help identify.

There are both deciduous and evergreen azaleas

That is no Azalea, looks more like a Euphorbia

At least we now know it's not an Azalea. I agree with Owdboggy - Euphorbia

Thanks very much. Oh well, no mass of colour after all!

Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae. Invasive in the wrong place, which is often, but very useful in shade where nothing else will grow.
