I've got the name of this azalea somewhere - it's a sweet one, with flowers that are smaller than formosas, but not as small as the older varieties (which I love). Each year, when it first starts to bloom (and unfortunately it's a bit hidden) - I'm reminded of how beautiful it is, and that I should propagate it so that I can plant a few more in the garden. Last year I missed it (while living in northern Virginia) - so it has been extra special to see it this year.
It looks a little like 'Peggy Ann'.

I love the spicy, sweet fragrance of this flower. Sweet Azalea is named for its highly fragrant early summer flowers which are white to pale pink with red stamens.

So pretty, mine are far from blooming, of course the deer ate many of the plump buds off the shrubs.

This flower is so beautiful. I have a similar flower in my garden but this one looks great.

It surely looks like Peggy Ann. As this gorgeous plant has large hose-in-hose (double) white flowers with deep pink edges up to 50mm wide.
