Beautiful azalea

I bought 3 Azalea Irohayama from Millais Nurseries in Jan 2010 which have flourished. The foliage is constantly glossy and lustrous, and the flowers are prolific, long-lasting and enchanting. The plants were snowed on immediately after planting but neither this nor the recent cold winter damaged them.
