Azalea Progress

My potted Formosa Red Azalea (Azalea indica 'Formosa Red') has made quite a bit of progress since it was originally purchased back in 2010.

February 27, 2010 (planted)

March 19, 2011 (1 year)

March 15, 2012 (2 years)

In two years, it has more than doubled its width while adding some to its height.  And the bloom production has been amazing this year.

 I have been really enjoying the show this spring.
