Thanks...I'm totally pumped for the show.Awesome! I can't wait for it to bloom for you. I thought of you the other day as I was repotting a funky exposed root, I know you appreciate them.
I may have fertilized to much...or, the need of that indoor light for the greenhouse. Will be cutting this way back after bloom. So I'm not overly concerned. Everything will go most likely.cool! To see an azalea flower is worth the wait!
Are leaves getting big? Did you over fertilize last year?
A long awaited moment...
The ones with the smaller leaves are from Northern Japan and tend to be more cold hardy. The ones from Southern Japan have larger leaves, and are more sensitive to the cold.Just a point to clarify. These are hybrid trees and leaf size varies among different hybrids. So, fertilizer may be a factor, but not likely the reason why leaves on 2 different trees are not identical in size.
Oh no...it's putting on quite a show. Weather has been nasty. Strong winds and rain. They are in the greenhouse. No Internet at home still. Will grab a photo between the rain...and will post when either back in town or the Internet works again.did you only get 1 flower?
