Ivory Autumn Azalea

The Ivory Autumn Azalea blooms in spring. We called it Autumn. The azalea has not acknowledged this in twenty-five years of production and we have stopped waiting for it to. It is ivory. It is on the wall. It is not explaining anything about the name and neither are we. The Autumn Azalea Azaleas in nature are among the most structurally complex flowers in a genus known for structural complexity — five petals in an arrangement that opens flat enough to look simple until you look at the stamens and realize the whole thing is an engineering problem someone solved quietly over a very long time.
