AusBonsai

I have many different varieties of Azalea, but most are unknown species which I would like to rectify and if any of you azalea experts can help wodu be great
Many of these are in the gardens here, but I have taken cuttings and or ground layers for future Bonsai use
my Plan will be to grow the layers into a better size in a pot, then to dig the ones from garden and replace them with the layer!. Hopefully my Wife will not realise the plan, and I will get away with it

As most of them are Indica or Kurume, they are out in full flower now so is the time to identify them. If I know what they are I will provide that info to confirm
Anyone tell the difference between Kurume and Indica Satsuki are later flowering although Ray sold me one this year that is already flowering


Thanks in advance

the next Garden Bed
if can identify, user the code at the start of the description as that is how I identify them where they are in the gardens

Last lot from today

Hi Ken. There are literally thousands of varieties, My only guesses for them are
R2 Rose Queen
A1 Purple Glitters
A3 or C8 could be Goyet
B1 looks like Magnifica or Phoenicia
Hope that helps a bit.

thanks Hacki it fills in some holes for me as you can guess I have no idea what they are as you say there are so many adn very hard to start from nothing.

So beautiful there is nothing like an azalea in flower. Thanks for sharing

Ken, C4 could be Redwing, if it is a low prostrate growing plant.
