Hi, Chris and Gene...I've been following this thread on native azaleas and  
have a question: I know Chris'  azalea below is hardy here (zone  5a) but 
if it blooms in March or April won't the buds freeze, meaning no  blooms? 
 
Thanks, Joanie Anderson (who keeps forgetting to add her name to her  
emails...sorry!)

Joanie,
	Bud hardiness is usually listed in detailed descriptions of azalea.
does not do you any good to have a azalea if it will never bloom in your
area due tender buds. Descriptions on bloom times may vary... couple of
years settling in a garden they can adapt bloom times to meet the zone they
are in. I watch this happen to azalea I get from a friend in NC.
