Unknown azalea. Many different flowers on it, I don't think it is a satsuki. Here are three variations

Grimmy, I did and I have any new messages. I started a new conversation with you, let me know if you see it.
His message was for me. Gave me some awesome advice, as usual. Believe me, I've been trying to talk my husband into moving to a better climate. Like Belize! Just have to win the lottery. Please keep posting your flower photos, they are really beautiful.

Not very spectacular in comparison to the azaleas but here's my desert rose.View attachment 132096
Every time I think it's just taking up space in the greenhouse, it does that:rolleyes:

I'm going to send you mine. I've had it for years, and it has NEVER bloomed! It's very healthy, lots of leaves, gets plenty of sun in a south window, but no flowers:(.

I ignore the crap out of mine. What I do is never water but maybe once every month or two, then it drops all of its leaves at which point I water it. Within a few weeks it has blooms all over! Maybe ignore yours more.

That's so nice!
Hey, do you know if the different flowers on it are grafted?
Or is that natural for some azaleas, to have variations on the same plant?
As far as I thought, the ones with more than one color are grafted....

My neighbours ume as seen from my balcony
I love these, the smell even more than the view. One of mine in the garden is flowering heavily now too. It normally gives me white flowers with a tinge / streak of pink (Omoi no mama cultivar). This year it's given me this on one branch:

No, none of them are grafted, I don't think I have ever heard of anyone grafting azaleas. It is natural for some strains of azaleas to have many different variations. Check out the cascade I posted, last year I counted 10 different variations. This is one of the reasons that I love azaleas so much, I just wish that I could afford one of those really old specimens, like the one that Don Blackmon has.

What's going on with this dude?

View attachment 132156

I looks like it is waking up. The redish leaves are just its winter coat. The ones that it does not drop will return to green. I think it is neat that you can kind of tell the flower color by the winter leaf color. Red, pink, and purple will have a redish tint; while white and white variations will have a yellow tint.
