Winter red hue…and a few new silver buds trying to peek through already.

This guy is moving fast! Are you having warm temps already?

Yes, been in the 70s with nights in the 50s…plus a week in the garage where it sat in the 40s instead of outside in the low teens.
Of course we have a 32f morning coming next week, and no doubt we’ll see the 20s again about 2 days after I finish repotting everything.

Nice leafy shot. Hoping for a good show this year.

It's amazing that you can keep it in such a small pot yet still so healthy!

Azalea roots grow slowly and it doesn’t need to be repotted very often. This pot is actually larger than the previous two and doesn’t seem small until the blooms take over the top. The tricky part is that it becomes top-heavy and this is a good reminder that I need to secure it to the bench, thank you!

Show-prep shot. Hope it makes it another 11 days. The cool weather should help.

Well, it didn’t make it to the show last weekend, though it looked pretty good up until a couple days before. Today I had time to prune it back.
