Dleicate flowers of Miyama mangetsu azalea

[Chuah]

This cultivar bloomed in early April and the flowers are now mostly gone. It has very small flowers, about 1” across. Miyama mangetsu means Full Moon Deep in the Mountain, I wonder how they coin so many cultivar names. It was a nursery gallon plant in training for a shohin.

Names like race horses... All the easy, catchy names were used up by 1930.
