I have a white azalea that is blooming for the 2nd time this year! I'm
pretty sure it's not an Encore azalea, because I don't recall it blooming
twice last year or the year before. Can regular azaleas bloom more than once
a season? I'm in East Texas...

As others have posted, this *does* happen. The usual answer in
newspaper gardening columns is that the the following spring's
blossoming may not be quite as full. I recall this phenom from a warm
fall several years ago, and there hasn't been a spring without azalea
blooms here yet. :-)
