Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Oh, these are what we knew as ‘florist azaleas’. They are spectacular in bloom, and are grown to be sold as blooming potted plants, but then do not adapt well to garden culture. Because we grew landscape stock, we did not grow these. (We grew one cultivar of florist azalea, but it was unpopular with our clients.) Florist azaleas perform better in pots than landscape types, and are more likely to bloom well again in pots.

I wondered what kind of azalea this was–very different from what I have in my yard. Thanks, Tony!

I do not know the exact cultivar. The only cultivar of that sort that I ever grew was simple white. The bloom was very pretty, but a bit big and floppy for the garden. They sort of hung over the edges of the cans (because we did not trim them up like they are as potted plants). If they do that in the ground, the flower lay on the ground and get grubby. They work better in pots. Some of the colors, which are often mixed with white, look like fancy French deserts.

I know that these are related to what we call alpine roses that grow wild on the slopes of our mountains

Yes! Rhododendron ferrugineum. ‘Rhododendron’ translates into ‘rose tree’, although they are not even remotely related to what are known as roses. Azaleas are species and hybrids of species of Rhododendron. (‘Rhododendron’ is, of course, also Rhody’s name.)
