Comments: Pink buds open pink with a light pink in the throat. Prominent red spotting in the upper lobe. Very unique, semi-glossy, narrow foliage is attractive year-round. *There is some question on the cross since it would make it an azaleodendron, but until it is finalized I'll leave it as it is.
