I don't think this climate is condusive to ours blooming two times a year, Lil. Least I've never seen anyone's (including mine) do that. There's a guy about a mile or so away...and his entire front yard is all azealaed (<--word?...is now!) out! It's so beautiful and tastefully done. I'm a bit reluctant...but I'm tempted to knock on his door and ask his secret!

Thanks for all the info Lil! I don't know if our climate differences change the way we maintain our bushes (pun not necessarily intended...but cute, eh?), but I'll try anything that might make these suckers go bananas! I want big bushes...not these itsy, bitsy ones I'm clinging to!
