My first Azaleas and small leaf Holly

[hinmo24t]

The Azalea were all finally cheap enough to grab a few...ones white and other red I think.

Holly is a Ilex crenata which has slight yellowing. I microdosed some liquid miracle grow and bone meal for iron on a top layer for that.

Cool azaleas!
I got excited when I read Holly.....wrong species.....

A pet peeve of mine, I think.....
American Holly, Ilex Opaca has some small leaf cultivars like Red Beauty.....
I just cant bring myself to call the Japanese Ilex plants Hollies.....I can, but its not where my mind goes when I hear Holly.

Anyway.....sorry to ramble incoherently....
