Hi,
Last spring, I transplanted an azalea from the backyard into a pot. The plant, which came with the house I bought, had bloomed already. However, it appears to be budding again. Is this possible? Is it an "encore" azalea? If I'm looking to bonsai the azalea eventually, should I clip the buds to prevent it from blooming? I know that most azalea bonsaists only allow their plants to bloom every second or third year.
I can post photos of the buds if it would be helpful. However, I'm more interested if anyone has experience with this variety of azalea.
