Years ago, I bought several small azalea bushes (so I don't have to dig big holes :)). One was a showy red, another a gorgeous tomato red, yet another a dainty pink, and, finally, a pure white. All but the pink azalea bloomed unfailingly every spring. The pink one, a May bloomer, I was told, blossomed just once. Despite regular dosages of bloom boosters, it just didn't bloom. Two years ago, I had one of the hated foundation bushes by the pink azalea cut down. As a result, the pinkie received more hours of direct sunlight. I kept my fingers crossed. At last, it burst forth with flowers in late May, an abundance of dainty pink against small, light green leaves! Take a look at this pressed pink azalea. Isn't it sweet?
