I would never have guessed this was an azalea, but I like it 💗👍
@jeatacake it’s not much like a typical azalea is it 😜 wanted a plant for my aunt who passed last September. Saw this and it was as unique as she was - meant to be 🥰
No, not at all, but a great reason for getting it 🙏
@jeatacake have a few memory plants and does make you think of the person each time you see them. And when they’re doing well I like to think they’re tending to them from the great beyond 🥰
I know exactly what you mean. I have several from my mother's garden, who passed away 5 years ago. More recently, a wallflower Bowes Mauve, from my niece's bloke's mother who passed away in February. 🙏🥰
@jeatacake that’s a beautiful variety 😍 such a nice way to remember someone, especially if the plant came from their garden. Your mums rhododendron is a prime example 🥰
I'd fancied having one of these for years & wondered why I could never find seeds for it. I suspect it's a sterile hybrid & fortunately a true perennial, which normal ones aren't. Cheers Kerry. I'm looking forward to that rhododendron flowering again soon 😊
@jeatacake you’ve taught me something new! Thought all wallflowers were perennial 🤯
It's a bit if a trade off I suppose? Most are biennial or short-lived perennials but at least they do set seed, whereas Bowes Mauve doesn't 😏
@jeatacake aaah, that makes sense. Guess they always seem perennial when they self seed endlessly. Same as foxgloves and the like
Yes & if like foxgloves, you'll never get rid of them! 😏
