I have seen around the neighbourhood some lovely little trees that are covered in flowers. They are usually orange the ones I have seen but I have seen a light purple one too. What are these I want one? I have tried google. Any suggestions? Not Hybiscus I know them.

Actually I am not sure if they are trees, the ones I have seen a medium shrubs.
Yes deanna that is it, thanks. It's funny I don't really know to much about Rhododendrons. All this time gardening and I havent taken any notice. Anyway i did plant a couple a couple of weeks ago, I hope they come out like these ones. they are only the medium height ones, I got a red and I cant remember the other colour. I wonder if some flower better then others.

Oh what? ha ha now Im confused. But they are definately the one in denna14"s photo.
Yes agree Azalea mollis, decidious azaleas growing up to about 1.5 to 2m. Lovely shrub. Most rhododendrons do not come in pure orange colours to the best of my knowledge.

Gorgeous things, my gran used to plant them under trees and over banks en masse. They were a sight in her old gravel quarry garden.
