I have searched several sites and haven't found a photo that looks similar. It has no leaves yet. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. _________________________ PattyZone5

Joclyn Joclyn Deep Purple Dream Gardener Registered: 07/18/05 Posts: 2099 Loc: philly	the white variety is not very common. i've been looking for it for years (i don't like yellow) and still haven't come across it for sale. if it does turn out to be that, maybe you could send me a piece? i'd pay postage, of course or trade you for something of what i have! _________________________ zone 6b

Joclyn Joclyn Deep Purple Dream Gardener Registered: 07/18/05 Posts: 2099 Loc: philly	i've never seen an azalea bloom before sprouting leaves. there are a lot more varieties around these days and i'm sure it's possible with one of the newer cultivars. _________________________ zone 6b
