RE: More Azaleas, plus Wisteria!

in #gardening • 7 years ago (edited)

Wow! You have just given me the names of two flowers here my friend!
Firstly I am taller than your Azaleas (6'3"), but I am not taller than the azalea tree on a farm here. The tree is about 3 meters high!
I have included a picture for you of the flowers on the tree to please verify if it's indeed an azalea flower.
Blessings!

        That lovely flower certainly looks like an azalea to me, although I am no expert. Azaleas are part of a very large family of plants knows as Rhododendron, which all have similar flowers. Most of the non-azalea members of the Rhododendron have thick, leathery leaves, and your leaves appear to be thinner and not so "leathery" in look. So, yes, I would think that is very possibly an azalea! Since there are over 10,000 species and cultvars of azaleas, it is entirely possible that one was bred to be three meters tall! That is impressive! Thanks for sharing this beautiful flower!

              Thank you and except for the color, it looked very similar to your flower.
              Thank you also for the detailed answer and now I can find rest in knowing that it is an Azalea of the Rhododendron family that somehow ended up in South Africa.
              Blessings!
