Early name in a flower glossary (6)

I believe the answer is:

azalea

(Other definitions for azalea that I've seen before include "Colourful shrub related to rhododendron" , "Ornamental lime-hating shrub" , "Shrub resembling a small rhododendron" , "Showy flowering shrub" , "flower" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
