Orange coloured Azalea

I am afraid I didn't see the notice so can't tell you its name.

By coincidence I  have a postcard featuring orange Azaleas
from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh at DAWYCK

Update on my attempt to grow these beautiful trees.
Unfortunately my last attempt didn't survive winter. I might just have to accept that these trees can't handle the climate here in Dubrovnik.

I have one last speciment at home on the balcony that is getting a fatter trunk, maybe that's a future key to success. I have one last spot on my property that might have a better micro climate.
