Author Topic: What is this beautiful plant? Angelfaery Garden Helper Member # 4330 posted                       I just moved into a new house and in the front yard is this beautiful flowering tree - and everyone I asks gives me a different answer on what it is! Anyone here have an idea? Posts: 32 | From: Anacortes, WA | Registered: Dec 2004  |  Logged: 66.12.193.250 Dixie Angel Garden Pro! Member # 4001 posted                       Is it a daisy tree?

If you have a bunch of branches growing out of the ground and the plant blooms with flowers before even one leaf shows up that's your best bet. Most of the azaleas I have seen up north never got that tall. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Logged: 4.249.81.172 weezie13 Compost Queen!

I have to say I still think the mystery plant is a forsythia halfway between bloom and leafing. But then, I have been known to be wrong before!!!!! bbbbbbbbb GO DAWGS!

Does anyone know where to buy one. No one in my area has them. I did see an orange one, really orange, last week in Winston Salem. It was beautiful. bbbbbbbbb http://www.picturetrail.com/bestofour Posts: 3667 | From: Monroe, NC | Registered: Aug 2003  |  Logged: 205.188.114.184 tkhooper Official Blabber Mouth Member # 4875 posted                       Sky Nursery just north of Seattle Washington. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Logged: 4.249.81.148 RugbyHukr Garden Pro! Member # 5274 posted                       They are deciduous azaleas. There are yellow, orange & regular azalea colors. 'Exbury' is the most common, I believe, but there are other cultivars. exbury yellow bbbbbbbbb I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things.

Member # 3834 posted                       I have not come across a Yellow Azalea before. The flowers look like a azalea, but as Fernie said the leaves are different. So I am not sure. bbbbbbbbb "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens". Posts: 12383 | From: Manchester. England | Registered: Oct 2004  |  Logged: 195.93.21.33 Dixie Angel Garden Pro!

So I will upload them tonight when I get home, I promise! To answer weezie's question about the red bush next to it, I was told it is a camellia. Here is a close-up photo of its gorgeous flower!

To answer your questions Weezie, I am extremely lucky! Especially since I just moved into this house and so I got all the rewards of these beautiful plants and didn't have to do any of the work! Here are some close up shots of the yellow flowers, I also included one of the leaves. I really think it is an azalea, do you?

Member # 5274 posted                       Meg, I never saw a camellia in WV. They are not cold hardy. If you truly desire one, try mail order and pot it. Bring it inside when temp drops below 40 degrees. Here, in Cali, they pretty much serve the role of the WV rhododendrons. bbbbbbbbb I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze.
