We have a few azaleas (Rhododendron spp.) at work at the moment (I specify "at the moment" because they turn over fast. A lot of them sell, and the ones that don't sell look so crappy so quickly that they're rotated out quickly too. Any given azalea spends maybe a week in the greenhouse, max, before one or the other of those things happens.) that have caught my attention because they're two-toned. The buds are red, and as they open, the flowers gradually change to pink. Maybe this isn't that unusual or noteworthy, but other people at work have commented.
I don't have a variety name for them, or I'd share it. Probably you guys have all seen these, or something like them, anyway.
Those are so pretty. I love azaleas, I think they are gorgeous. I have a bi color one right now that is getting buds.....I am going to post a pic in the next few days. I started a new job a few weeks ago, now I am seeing how much work keeping it all together is.
ReplyDeleteI have found my azaleas to be pretty easy to care for. They like to be pretty moist all the time, so there isn't too much of a chance of overwatering them. They are supposed to need a cold period to induce flowering, but mine didn't get one, so I don't know what made it flower.
Do you own one? If not, you must....lol.
I've never seen a bi-colored azalea before---cool beans! They are are my favorite potted plant and I splurge on them as often as I can---they last much longer than cut flowers but are half the price. How can you lose?
