I now totally get the awe of azaleas on the bench. As most know this one came from @Don Blackmond last mid June. First time offering up a show for myou viewing...and I totally get the love of these trees for many. To think I had originally mentally planned for only to sit on my bench. Now...excited about the neagari satsuki to also share it's beauty.

Love the subtle specks on one bloom verses the bolder streak of color found on the other charming...

To the bold streak...with hints on an unopened bloom of another possible bold bloom. Seeing a bit of color being revealed.

Though maybe not this variety...I'm sure you must have some exotic cultivar that others aren't so privy for. Embrace what is available to you...or,do you find getting bonsai a challenge in your location?
We have all sorts of cool natives, but I love azaleas, and there are no satsukis available for purchase anywhere.

Looks good and healthy. Strong growth and lots of flower buds. You are doing well with it.

Thanks all for the kind words...I must say...can't go wrong with material from Don. He also walked me through the care regiment. Allowing me confidence on at the time a larger purchase for me. Very pleased all around with the experience.

Think I may have found this satsuki a new pair of shoes for next year...a Sonny Bogg's pot. :D Now...not set in stone until it arrives...but...yeah, thrilled to have one of his pots coming to my home.

Thanks...yes,he has some amazing pots out there I've seen ones have. He had several on auction end last night. Some cascades that I had no use for...but was hard put...forcing myself to not bid on them as well. Leaving ones who may like his pots the opportunity to have one of their own. And not be gluten. But...it was hard. One cascade was a dream...but...again no use for it. So...I refrained.

Yeah I saw those too, I just dont have anything that would work with the pots he posted so I didnt bid on them either.
