Rhododendron calendulaceum (flame azalea)
This orange flame azalea is in full bloom and "orange" you glad it is? Oh no, I've just made a pun. "Orange" sounds a little like "aren't" and most people get the gag. Of course, some folks absolutely hate puns. They think that people who pun should be pun-ished or maybe banished forever to the pun-itentiary! Who would think that this beautiful flame azalea and a simple 'play on words' could generate that much controversy?
One of my favorite shrubs, the flame azalea. Unlike the standard small around variety, these guys get tall. I can't grow a standard hybrid azalea to save me but my native flames are beautiful and healthy.

Flame Azalea
Flame azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum) is a deciduous shrub of Appalachia's dry, upland woods, with a particular fondness for the thin, acidic soils of the Central and Southern Appalachian montane oak forests. In the southern part of its range, it masses in extensive, striking displays on grassy mountain balds. The plant's flowers range in color from pale yellow to scarlet red, although apricot red seems to be most common color phase in the local mountains. Needless to say, flame azalea is a popular ornamental shrub and a number of hardy cultivars exist.
