These Flowers I On My Walk From School
Another name for azaleas, yes
Edit: I got it. It's not an azalea. There are different kinds of rhododendron, and azalea is one of them, but not this one.
Are Rhododendrons and Azaleas the Same?Β The two plants are very closely related. In fact, azaleas are actually part the rhododendron genus. This means all azaleas are technically rhododendrons, but not all rhododendrons are azaleas.
Thanks, Mom!
Whatever the name is... They are more than beautiful
βοΈ...no, this isn't an Azalea.
How can I tell the difference next time, visually?
Azaleas aren't everygreen for one, flowers have much more varients in color and shape as well. The buds look different. foliange in rhodies tend to be shaped similar in the 2 main groups I've seen. Btw, this is only based on what I've seen in Minnesota. If there are any plant geeks on here, feel free to set me straight.π
Thanks!
Definitely rhodedendrons...I have a few of them. They're gorgeous.
Btw, if anyone knows what these are pease lmk
As others have pointed out, itβs a Rhododendron, to me looks like a Dandy Man Pink Rhodo.
They look like azaleas
They look like them, but don't call them that, otherwise the Rhododendron police of Reddit will show up! π
OH! I thought the leaves looked more like regular rhododendrons but for some reason I was convinced they were smaller flowers than that and now IDK why because there is nothing in the picture that indicates they are small. I actually had them in this EXACT COLOR in my yard growing up, I'm not sure why my mind went right to azaleas instead lol
Don't be too hard on yourself. I thought they were azaleas too because of the same reason...I have pink azaleas in my yard!! π€£
I have some little purple ones! Growing up we had both. 3 types of azaleas ( one with tiny flowers, 2 with larger) and a bunch of rhododendrons. The flowers are super similar but the leaves are different. The rhododendrons are like.. juicier? and the petals are softer. The rhododendrons smell stronger and sweeter too...but from a picture they look so similar! Anyway, they're all wonderful.
Thank you! See, I'm learning stuff. Trust me, I didn't know until I commented in this thread. ππ© Hence my little joke!
We have two pink azaleas and then there's a rhodo of some kind in the back that I haven't seen bloom yet. We only just moved here at the end of January, so this is our first Spring/Summer with this house.
Yours sound lovely!
Hey don't sweat it! I'm hardly a botanist myself, I just like looking at flowers and can't resist trying to chime in when I think i know the answer to something lol. It's actually been a long time since I've had rhododendrons, but there were tons in my childhood home. I'm happy with the little azalea at least.
If/when your rhododendron blooms, expect lots of bees! They are absolutely addicted to those things!

Excellent! I love feeding the bees π π
I have the same rhododendrons in my yard! β₯οΈ
sooooopretty! what flower is that?
Azaleas! I has this exact variety at my first house. So beautiful and a prolific bloomer. Currently I have a few of these with white blooms, which are also gorgeous.
They melt, my heart.
