Anyone here able to ID this Azalea?

[GrimLore]

I posted this in another thread and have no clue what variety it is. I have sent the photo to a few organizations and the answers I received were not even close to what is pictured. I really would like to work this into a nice cascade in a primitive pot but do not see the point if I cannot tell someone what it is.

Thank you in advance B-Nuts!

Thank you, they almost have a rose like quality and I really want to spend some energy on them. I have one Yellow Rose that is very similar.

Yeah they were so far off with the ID I wondered for a moment if they could see the blooms at all. They ID'd it as a totally different plant and flower type although it was White and pink. They tried to tell me it was a Single hole flower first off(blind I guess).

Yes and it made me more frustrated as they do not show any type two color with the secondary color starting at the center and almost going to the tip of each petal *sigh* Oh, I did not put a scale there but those blooms measure 2 3/4 to 3 inches and are quite uniform.

I can see wanting to know the variety, but why let that stop you from proceeding with efforts to get it into bonsai culture? To me it's not all about being able to tell someone everything there is to know about a tree. Many times it is simply about seeing a beautiful image and enjoying what it looks like.

How about this?

WOW! I took the tablet to the plant and that Sir is a great match! Also you must know by just watching the plant and not knowing if it was deciduous or evergreen it is growing well in the "exact" conditions they say are preferred!

I understand Sir and honest I do grow a few plants that are just "damn nice" because they are great to view I do however feel these four specimens have a "great" future and wanted to know everything I could and document them well along the path. It takes time and money and I feel better knowing "what" I am dealing with in this case to get to the goal. Also, they are nice enough I have "started" working them a few months back

It is like dealing with pine. If you do not know if you have a black pine, white pine, mugo, etc....you might not give it the best treatment...or even kill it. Information and knowledge is power. It only took him and a few of us to ID it anyway. Worth the shot IMHO.

'Californian Sunset' or 'Inga' or something else really similar.

Thank you and I had questions on the other thread if you have the time your input there would be greatly appreciated Sir
