Meaning and background

The story behind Azalea

Azalea takes its identity from a flowering shrub known for its bright clusters of blossoms. Botanically, the word has a less obvious background: the genus name was formed from a Greek adjective meaning “dry”. That does not make “dry” the everyday meaning of the flower or a pet called Azalea. In British English it is usually pronounced uh-ZAY-lee-uh.
