Summer azalea fun.
Yes, the blooms are large (aprox diameter somewhere between baseball and softball) with smallish leaves (the leaves look like the ones on my wakaebisu). This is the second time it has bloomed, and it probably will again this fall. I got mine for free. There is a nursery that is closed in a town about forty miles from the house. I wish I had the room at home for more plants at home.
I am super pumped for mine to bloom! It is my first year where I have a crape in bloom season. I have always envied my neighbors to the south for their flowering bonsai.
