The Azalea

The azalea is one of the most popular blooming plants available, and this is definitely attributed to its bright and beautiful blooms. Throughout the world, this flower stands for love and gentleness, making it perfect to give to a loved one for any occasion. The azalea speaks of taking care of yourself and everlasting beauty, which is exemplified in this plant’s long life not only as a houseplant, but also as a cheery addition to your yard or garden.

Description

The azalea isn’t actually a flower you would typically find in bouquets and arrangements, as it is actually a shrub in the rhododendron family. Rhododendrons are known for their voluminous blooms, which are seen in the azalea. What makes the azalea unique is instead of having multiple blooms per stem, there is only a single one. However, these blooms are still just as spectacular as their rhododendron counterparts, and come in a variety of colors such as pink, white and red.
