Azalea in our small garden (1993 – 2012).

In our garden we only one small Azalea. It has been there since 1996. Latin name is “Azalea mollis ‘Gibraltar’, origin from Japan “and its family is Ericaceae. The origin this flaming Azalea is from Japan. Normally it is blossoming before leaves are coming, but in 2009 both were visible at same time.

One winter it was feasted by a rabbit (Bugs Bunny) and to recuperate took many years. When in bloom it is like in flames.

Our small garden 1993 – 2012. You should see our modest coffee corner, which is unique when thinking from which it is made. You do not have any idea.

Stunning flowers, it’s great they eventually rejuvenated.

When I lived in Atlanta for 25 years, Sartenada, I saw every color of azalea that exists, I’m sure. It is indeed a beautiful flower! I just didn’t know it comes from Japan.

Such an uplifting blaze of colour this morning, Sartenada. Many thanks. 🙂

Bonjour Matti,
Un coloris flamboyant, c’est bien vrai ! Et il ne laisse pas indifférent non-plus Bugs Bunny.
Bises et très bon week-end, au soleil et au jardin si possible.

What a gorgeous hot orange colour. Bugs Bunny looks totally innocent.:)

Aww…Maybe poor Bugs Bunny thought the flowers would be carrot flavoured… 🙂 I also didn’t know i comes from Japan… beautiful!

- Well, this azalea is said coming from Japan. Quote from a page in Internet: “The Mollis hybrids were developed in Belgium and Holland from original azalea seeds from Japan.”
  
  Happy Friday!

Your azalea is beautiful, as are your photos. I really like the color. We had deer feast on our azaleas one year.

These flowers are so gorgeous! I just looked at your photos of roses and rhododendrons, and I’m surprised they grow in your area, as we can’t grow them in this part of Alaska. Some of the plants could be possible in certain niche environments, but in general, no. Flowering bushes that do well in our area (Kenai Peninsula) are usually lilacs and potentilla. Your photos are crisp and clear and lovely!

Beautiful pictures and I love the color! It’s a good thing that rabbit (Bugs) didn’t eat the whole thing 🙂

Had to come back and say the third one is my favourite composition. 🙂

It is a very beautiful azalea. Although Bugs Bunny was the villain of this story, I liked his photograph, too. 🙂

That azalea has a beautiful color! Very bright. Bugs is saying, “Who, me?”
We have an azalea too and last year a deer ate all of the blossoms. This year I protected it with a screen.

I really enjoyed your azalea photos. They do not grow well here and it is always a pleasure to see them. I love the photo of the hare. Long ears! I was looking at your snow post before this one. I have an email friend from Finland and she sent me many photos throughout the country. I always thought it is such a friendly place and would love to live where there is so much snow.

These azaleas are gorgeous! We have pink ones in front of our apartment building, but this color is one I have never seen. Amazing. I keep looking at them over and over. I hope Bugs is forgiven.

I love your pictures Matti. My little girl Chandi loves flowers – if she saw these – she would be ecstatic. I like the contrast of purple with orange and it was also a nice surprise to see the picture of the bunny.

You would like North Carolina in the spring. Azaleas are in bloom everywhere you look!

Comment by Heart To Harp — June 18, 2013 @ 04:33 | Reply
- Thank You. It would be wonderful. In Finland Azaleas are not so general, Rhododendrons are. We bought this “special” Azalea in 1993, when we moved to our new house. Next year when I celebrated my anniversary, we got our first Rhododendron. This was great start for our Rhodos. I presume that You took a look at our Rhodos. Many of them are Finnish breed.
  
  Have a great day!

  - I saw the beautiful purple rhodo behind your azalea. We have a few rhodos in my city, but it is too hot for many of them. The Blue Ridge Mountains in western NC are full of them. I’ve hiked through rhododendron groves so thick that I could not see the sky. It is an amazing sight to see them all in bloom.

I love the red of those buildings – such beautiful old homes. We miss out on so much history here in the United States.

Magnifiques azalées de ton jardin. Je ne pensais pas qu’elles fleurissaient si facilement dans ton pays. Superbes photos aussi. Le lapin est joli… comme celui du livre “The Year of the Hare”, Paasillinna. J’adore.
