This morning another of the maybe Azalea, maybe other small-leaf Rhododendron in my yard is blooming. The one in my previous post, I wasn't even sure was within Rhododendron. This one I'm sure is some kind of Rhododendron (including maybe Azalea). In a prior year carefully checking details, gave a contradictory result.
Those stalks in a flower are: One pistil, five (for typical Azalea) stamen and what else???
It may be unclear in the picture, but looking from a range of angles makes it clear there are seven total, not six total. The Pistil is obvious. Two stamen significantly longer than the pistil and four stamen shorter than the pistil or is that shortest one with the smallest ?anther? something else?
The Azalea have five stamen. The other small leaf Rhododendron has ten. The ambiguous plants have other numbers and/or vary from bloom to bloom on one plant.
