No, sorry I don't have a photo and expecting heavy rain all day tomorrow so won't get one real soon. I have searched several sites and haven't found a photo that looks similar. It has no leaves yet. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

the white variety is not very common. i've been looking for it for years (i don't like yellow) and still haven't come across it for sale.

if it does turn out to be that, maybe you could send me a piece? i'd pay postage, of course or trade you for something of what i have!

i've never seen an azalea bloom before sprouting leaves. there are a lot more varieties around these days and i'm sure it's possible with one of the newer cultivars.
