Ruby Tuesday- Azaleas

When Spring time flower blossoms, this picture was taken three weeks ago here in Korea. You can see a lot of flowering flowers everywhere here. I don't know what's the name of this flower but as what I found online it is called Azaleas are flowering shrubs making up part of the genus Rhododendron. Originally azaleas were classed as a different genus of plant, but now they are recognized as two of the eight subgenera of rhododendrons - Pentanthera (deciduous) and Tsutsuji (evergreen). Azaleas bloom in spring, in damp mountainous places, their flowers dying only a few weeks later. They do not need as much sun as other plants; they live near trees and sometimes under them. Azalea is also the flower of the astrology symbol Sagittarius.
