Jeff---
You are right! It does look just like yours!...What a hardy variety it is!
It just blooms ans blooms--every year. Olga never does anything to hers.
She is NOT a gardener...I would, at least, remove the spent blooms.....
and I do--when she is not looking...

This side of her house faces mine--and both of these sides are "blind" sides--
meaning no coming and going --no doors on these sides, etc.
We seldom see each other...but--now and then I stick something in her bed
if I have nowhere else to put it...:o) And--I do water it when I an watering mine.
There is, probably, about 20' between out houses...maybe 25'?
That's Developments for you....

This pic. is from 20011. See that curving brick edging on the left? That is Olga's bed
in which this Rhodo grows--a bit further down. One of my "other" beds I take care of.

And--just to the right of the trellis by my house is that tiny bed and the D.V. Azalea .
It has also been there forever.....

You can also see that my WS Shrub was still in my little bed at the end of the driveway.
Paul and I dug it up and he took it home in 2013...I think?? That was "AN EVENT"
to remenber!!! Pretty funny at times...but we did accomplish it.
