This is still an azalea... exact binomial would depend on proper id of the hybrid, and then cultivar... azaleas have been hybridized for a few hundred years, first in Japan, China, and then in England and the North Americas.... names, cultivars USED TO BE IN A GENUS OF ITS OWN, BUT IS NOW INCLUDED IN RHODODENDRON... leaves and flowers and seedpods when develops (which is now rare in garden plants of the two) are all distinctly different... Taxonomy texts should be able to list the difference... Two broad groups of AZALEAS are sold...1) a deciduous that is leafless thru the winter and 2) an evergreen variety that keeps its leaves even under the snow ... The color as shown above is a common color of the garden variety Azalea ... planted everywhere where greenery and a little color is wanted such as edges of large lawns, foundations of the homes as a cover to hide the cement walls, and in Georgia and both Carolinas in large dedicated gardens... Calloway garden comes to mind in Georgiia ... famous for its walks lined by hundreds of (by now 5-8 feet tall) plants of many different colors and cultivars... At my last count a few years ago there were more than 80 books devoted to Azaleas only (not including the Rhododendrons, which a different matter altogether) ...
