rhododendron

Looks like some kind of Azalea. The Latin name of Azalea is Rhododendron. The shrub most people call 'Rhododendron' is also the genus Rhodendron but has larger, thick, evergreen leaves. Some people call Azaleas 'honeysuckle'. Confused yet?

I'm located in Alabama, sorry for not including this in the original post.

Deciduous rhododendron. It's just finished blooming - you can see the long slender wiry part of the flower (pistol) leading down to a wider green part where seeds will develop (ovary) and form a seed capsule. Many have lovely autumn leaf color as well.

Unfortunately these will be getting dug up today! I bought my kids 2 miniature fainting goats, and rhododendron will kill them :-/
