  1. Throughout Melbs right now, #azelea’s are out in bloom and they’re everywhere!

    They produce such gorgeous flowers… so many different varieties and colours. And their patterning is something else.

    A truly special and visually pleasing plant.

    Did you know? 🤔

    Most azaleas are poisonous.

    They contain #Grayanotoxins, which are a group of closely related neurotoxins.

    Grayanotoxins are produced by #Rhododendron species and other plants in the family #Ericaceae.

  2. These #azaleas are going gangbusters atm.

    They flower from #autumn through winter, with their main flush in spring.

    They’re only meant to be ‘spot flowering’ at present.

    Love to revisit this hybrid beauty in the spring to see what a full-on flowering display looks like!

    Did you know (cos I didn’t!) 🤔

    Humans have, by way of manipulation, created over 10,000 azalea cultivars?
