It belongs to Max (a client). There are lots of azaleas in his garden, all planted by a previous owner and we are slowly warming to them. In fact some are such crazy colours we are definitely roasting hot! This one is very low growing and petite, very nice.
Gorgeous, is it in flower now? Do you know it’s name? One of those would look lovely in a pot, I don’t have ericaceous soil but would love to grow that.
At first sight I was puzzled and wondered if could be a clump of daffodils – yep, double, pink edged ones. Now I’m thinking I ought to lie down and rest awhile.
Sometimes plants that don’t check the calendar will produce flowers shaped or coloured differently to their normal season. What do the flowers look like at the right time? And what does the foliage look like, please? For example, if the flowers have initially/normally a more red edge, then it could be “Gay Paree’. Asking for a friend who has spent every coffee break since you posted this searching the web ……….
You are so funny John. Hope the build is going well. x As I remember, will check other photos from the spring, these flowers are pretty much the same as earlier in the year. It is very low growing, sprawling really. I’ll see if I can find a photo of the foliage for you.

I am not an Azalea fan (always kill them when I have bought house plants) but this one is quite striking. Belong to you?

It isn’t normally in flower in the autumn, just having a funny five minutes. Sorry, no name, I will see if a bit has layered itself for you x

Why, thank you! It’s good to know that the Delusional Azalea really does exist, although it may not be aware of its existence. 😕

I’ve been waiting for you! It seems pretty unabashed, and pretty pretty too. 🙂
