Hi Marleey73, i love azaleas' as bonsai but have always struggled to get the bonsai blend right . I hope this season its a winner of i will loose some serious stock . Any chance you could pop up a bigger pic as it a little hard to get a good eyeball at the flowers , you may have reduced the pic too much ? . Thanks for posting .

Cheers Alpineart.

Nice flowers Marley.
Mine here have all but finished :-(.

does the rest of the tree have any structure?
As azaleas only have flowers fro a short time each year, I like mine to have nice branch and trunk structure so that they look like a Bonsai out of flowering time

Beautiful flowers, I would question whether it is Alphonse Anderson though, as yours looks to be a double whereas A.A. is a large single. :lost:

Was told by a Glenorie Rhodo and Azaela company it was an Alphonse but I also was doubtful Can you tell me what variety it is? It is really beautiful in flower. I did buy an Alfonse Anderson from the Glenorie place so will see when it comes into flower. Many thanks to you all. :D

Sorry Lisa you have done well and much better than me. It seems to be a man's domain in the bonsai world although there are a few women who are well known. I am going to get into trouble for this one arn't I? Love this forum. :)

It could be a sport of Alphonse Anderson called Kalimna Pearl which is a double. http://floramedia.immij.com.au/p/7641/tkap

Yours also looks like it is sporting back to the purple "Magnifica" that it came from originally.
