One of the plants has a branch with flowers that are all dark pink (a
color sport), resembling 'Formosa'. (A photo of a 'Formosa' bush in
bloom is at http://www.rossde.com/garden/Formosa_azalea.jpg.) The
other flowers on this same plant are definitely 'George Taber'.
Has anyone else seen such a strange color sport?

I didn't know about color spot, but If the plant gets too dry, wait about 15 minutes after the first watering and repeat watering in the same way. it is vital to understand the impact of cultural and environmental factors on this plant.
