Four last years I propagated Japanese azaleas. One of them lent itself well to be sized out of a small tree. Here is the first flowering this year which is a little bit to late considering the cold winter that we had this year.

Beautiful flowers and I love azaleas, however, I don't seem to grow them
especially well. I can grow Azalea 'Coral Bells' beside my greenhouse, but
it's the only one that loves me.

Beautiful! I grew up in a house with lots of those. My grandfather (and my father) put lots of efforts to build Japanese style garden, and he used lots of these Rhododendron. I also liked to grow bonsai of a related species when I was a high school kid. So I miss rhododendron quite a bit. I recently found a cold hardy variety of rhododendron, which can handle zone 2. It's called Rhododendron "Orchid Lights", and it is a hybrid of Rhododendron canadense x Rhododendron x kosteranum. It's been slowly growing in our outside garden, but I haven't seen flowers yet.
