azela for jemli! though in a scifi setting she was a wheeling dealing space captain, in the sword & sorcery universe she's playing now, azela's devoted herself to the Sun and so her stripe turned golden and she carries a weapon of light!

These beautiful #azelea’s are from the other day in #surreyhills #melbourne #Australia.

Aren’t they gorgeous?

The subtle white tips on the edges of these petals are superb.

Throughout Melbs right now, #azelea’s are out in bloom and they’re everywhere!

They produce such gorgeous flowers… so many different varieties and colours. And their patterning is something else.

A truly special and visually pleasing plant.

Did you know? 🤔

Most azaleas are poisonous.

They contain #Grayanotoxins, which are a group of closely related neurotoxins.

Grayanotoxins are produced by #Rhododendron species and other plants in the family #Ericaceae.
