a Few more days and the rest of buds near the top should be open.

 

[JudyB]

Very nice.

 

[Nybonsai12]

id say this is just about peak bloom.

 

[Carol 83]

That's really beautiful.

 

[Nybonsai12]

Soon....

I saw the beginning material and thought there wasn't much redeeming in the structure to warrant much further consideration ...and then I saw it in bloom. . Flowers can cover a multitude of sins. Apparently that applies to azaleas ...and not just husbands.

Awesome, I really like Hino Crimsons. Hinos were the azalea that first got me interested in learning more about azaleas. It’s been the spring azalea of choice out here. Really tough, small leaves and blooms spectacularly.

At some point you might want to consider developing the nebari further, including cleaning up the crossing roots situation. Or not, if you are good with it.

The nebari certainly leaves something to be desired. It is now a solid clump of mostly fused crossing roots. As much as I’d like a proper spreading nebari, I likely won’t mess with it. Maybe one day if it bothers me enough And I feel brave.

 

[Deep Sea Diver]

Yep, I hear you. I’ve definitely felt this way before!

Then I discovered Azalea nebari is actually fairly easy to work on. Working on developing small Maple nebari helped me build confidence.

Best

Just about peak, maybe a couple more days for flowers to open a bit more.
