The photos of Martha Hitchcock azaleas are so unlike as to suggest that some are misidentified. Thus, the Bob Stelloh photo of 11May2005 shous almost a self purple, while the 15May2004 (Raughley Garden, Wilmington DE) is almost a self pinkish lavender. Only the 8May2003 photo at Hendersonville, NC, white center with purple fringe seems identical with the specimens I've grown in Cary, NC and this flower color matches the descriptions of Lee ("The Azalea Book") and Galle ("Azaleas")
