In George Beasley's own words: "Our finest seedling from our controlled crosses is a lovely yellow. It has more than I had hoped for - beauty, charm, good tough leaves, good plant form, hardiness and strong pleasing fragrance. Only one name seemed adequate for this fine plant. 'My Mary' was the choice. Normally a husband should be able to expect some small credit for naming an azalea for his wife, but as always, I blew it. In the plant description I stated that "the plant grows as broad as tall!" Good job George! [austrinum x (atlanticum x perclymenoides)]
