Ok long story short. This spring my folks figured out the condenser unit had stopped working so they had it replaced. In the process one of the guys stepped on one of mom's azaleas. Breaking it in two. My dad being the calm and rational person he is at times chain sawed the thing then literally ripped it out of the ground and threw it next to the yard waste can.
I decided to try and save it. with hugh amounts of folage and next to no roots. I cut it back to the main branches and totally removed the leaves. (probably a bad move but didnt know at the time).
I then potted it in perlite with a layer of crushed marble on top as the squirrels like to dig in everything.
So anyway I was beginning to think it was all in waste but it finally budded. So I figured I would post some picks to see what you think this could possible become if anything. It is roughly 20 years old. and about 1 1/2 feet tall
