Last September my sister D bought us this Azalea in the local Super U.

It has sat peacefully on the jardniere on our terrace since then, producing the occasional flower and demanding water from time to time.

Yesterday, bear in mind that it is now December and the plant should surely be thinking of hibernating or something, Madame Azalea decided to come into full and showy florescence.
It is going to be difficult to leave her flowering like this on the terrace when we leave for Ireland.
Maybe she will have come with us.
