Thanks Grimmy, these are just ones that I have for bonsai or prebonsai, I have many more in the landscape.

Very lovely...so did your dad get you interested in bonsai...or you him? With your having cuttings from his bonsai...it's the first thing that popped into my head.
Lovely; just lovely.
Funny I always thought the double flowered
strain resembled the gardenias of my childhood.
Wonderful !
You are the flowering master!
Btw just a quick question: why do we cut the buds of the azalea once the flower is gone exactly?
I don't have any azalea bonsai right now but I planted 9 as landscape plants in our yard, they are all blooming and I was wondering if I had to do the same as for bonsai's one.
That's really COOL John...my boys are not interested in the least over my trees. Other than the youngest was upset when I buried the hot mess of roots on the Virginia Creeper. And very happy when I changed the angle and uncovered a little of the roots.When I was young, junior high, I was interested and actually tried a few, all died. Dad has always been interested in plants and growing them. He actually was successful at bonsai first, me later, but we were both interested.

I'm not sure. I purchased it from a member who is no longer active. Like many of my trees, I have not posted any images but I can tell you when I do I think you'll agree it's an awesome example. You've given me a good start on gathering info about it. Thanks!Awesome Vin, is that the one that is called "autumn moon"
Was out watering today and took some pictures of some of the flowers on the bench, just wanted to share.
First up are some cuttings that I got form my dad from one of his satsukis, I don't know the name. They are two year old cuttings and this is the first year that they have bloomed. I have been making each one as to the flower color it produces.

I sent you a PM about this one- gorgeous blooms! The one I saw in EBay I Thoought it resembled is "Kogetsu":

I am not trying to judge this dude, but GATDOMIGHTYKNOWS, $150 for that little... Cutting!? I need to raise my prices when I sell these things on FB! LOL. That thing better be "Kogetsu" some money back! Kogetsu a 6 pack of beer any time you want it... Kogetsu a sandwich and a Hooters girl... For that kind of cash on such a small Plant! LOL. I'd sell (JUST RECENTLY SOLD) a Miyuki (just as rare, just as beautiful IMO) of the size in this eBay listing for like... $20-30! Just playing around obviously, I am sure there is some added value to this variety I just don't understand personally, but gracious... I was expecting a nice little Bonsai all styled and potted up for that price.
Closer comparison:

I think it is a match! Assuming this eBay seller has it named proper, this looks like Kogetsu to me!
Your Gumpo "fancy Pink" looks almost exactly like the variety our local Azalea farm refers to as "Gumbi"! No telling which is more correct or if they are the same exact variety of course... Do the blooms ever have a dark pink candy stipe on them? I see there is a slight variance in shades of pink... Shape, colors... All are very similar to my "Gumbis"!
I went from a couple years ago barely knowing there was a difference between Satsuki and the big "heirloom" varieties found in landscapes around here- to N ring totally ennamored with and hungry to learn as much as possible about Azaleas! They are an addiction all their own!
First Bonsai in general, always LOVED Maples (still do), then recently pots started to "click" for me, now Azaleas are becoming a specific fixation in a big way! Always appreciate it when you post because you have some good ones.
Thanks!
Was watering this morning before bed (working midnights) and found this little lady. It is from a cutting that I struck year before last, it is called Kobai. I really like this one as the flowers are quite small, about the size of a half dollar.
Great size indeed. Also the foliage looks dark enhancing the bloom. Is that considered a warm climate plant or?
