This lovely azalea plant has rewarded my patience. When I bought it, several months ago, it was covered with pink blossoms, but after they died off it had no more flowers for literally months. It always looked healthy, but just green. And why do you buy azaleas? For the flowers of course!

Anyway, just last week I noticed a whole bunch of buds, and now they are opening up into beautiful flowers. Strangely, one side of the plant seems to be way ahead of the other so I’m hoping I get a chance to see all the flowers out at the same time. The other, even stranger, thing is that the branch on the left is sporting what look like white flowers coming! They weren’t there before so I’ve no idea how this happened. Of course, I’m no gardener, so it might be quite common and I wouldn’t know! Anyway, I’m enjoying them. Maybe I’ll post another one when the white blossoms come out fully.
