We’ve often heard the saying, “Color adds drama to the garden.” What if color added other genres of the entertainment world, as well?
Romance is a definite yes. Fantasy? Why not. Children’s comedy, sci-fi, mystery, and even Westerns? At Encore Azaleas, we say, raise the curtain and give a round of applause to these stars!
Let’s explore how Encore Azaleas relate to some of the more popular entertainment categories.
Drama
No color expresses drama like red. Symbolizing love, anger, and heat, the red that Autumn Fire’s semi-double blooms bring to the garden is worthy of so many awards for dramatic presence. Its rich and velvety red flowers and glossy, dark-green foliage is small (just 2.5 ft. tall!) but a mighty scene stealer.
Romance
Say the word “romance” and the mind drifts to Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester. Ruffled frocks, ascots, and bonnets are the look of the day. The same is true for Autumn Majesty! With masses of petite, ruffled, semi-double purple blooms Autumn Majesty brings to mind an English garden.
Sci-Fi
You’re on the Enterprise’s Observation Deck and the Captain takes the ship into warp drive. The light patterns whizzing by? Just like those on the two-toned purple Autumn Twist! Who says you can’t have a little outer space fun in the inner space of the garden?
Western
Autumn Sundance may evoke a Western in name only, but we’ll take it! On second look, we’ll definitely say that the dwarf shrub’s indescribable purple-red blooms are reminiscent of a desert sunset after a long day of riding. Even in winter, Autumn Sundance’s reddish foliage brings back memories of a low-setting sun.
Children’s
Is there a more wholesomely entertaining children’s movie than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? That movie wasn’t big into azaleas, but if it were, Autumn Starburst would have fit in perfectly! Its vibrantly white-and-coral pink bicolor blooms are a Technicolor delight. We can just imagine Augustus Gloop salivating over its Autumn Starburst’s candy-like name!
Mystery
Dark corners, shadowy silhouettes, chills up the spine … is this a mystery – or is this the wonder of Encore Azaleas’ darkening foliage in winter? Autumn Amethyst’s foliage darkens to purple, as do Autumn Carnation’s glossy green leaves. Autumn Empress’s leaves, on the other hand, lean toward a bronze tone. How and why? Let’s leave it shrouded in mystery.
Now when someone inquires as to your genre, you can simply say, “I love the binge-worthy blooms of Encore Azaleas.”
