Late Flowering Azalea (Purple Glitters)

Post by bonsaitk »

3rd year I have had this one, bought as nursery stock. Slowly but steadily shaping up nicely, going to try and find a pot for it soon.
Photo was from a couple days ago, almost died this year from lack of watering over winter.
There are a few shoots that i'm leaving in hopes to thicken up the inner/upper branches, it will get a haircut soon after the flowers finish. Any critiques would be appreciated

Good flowering, but also good trunk and nabari.
Thanks for sharing your flowers.

Hi bonsaitk , very nice mate . I have a few different Azalea's .

Could you take a close up of the flower , I believe I might just have one similar but have lost the names of most of them .

Cheers . Alpine

Thanks for the kind words Watto.

Hey Alpine,
I just saw your other thread and I think are the same colour as the one you have in your white pot which posted up yesterday.

Hi bonsaitk , thanks for the feedback , I recalled the name when you posted but with quite a few gone just couldn't put my finger on it as many are very close in the floral sense .

Cheers . Alpine
