To personalize that statement. Jennifer I took a look and a picture of the plant, flower and checked the leaves. Pliable not like leather. It does look like some type of Azalea, though. I am a native Oregononian and know the Coast plants fairly well. You're probably right.

I took another picture and the leaves were thin, soft and pliable, but I wouldn't say leathery. It's been a year since the first picture and they are in bloom in our Fall.

I'll check when I can since the plant is not far away.

Azalea of some sort. Are the leaves a bit leathery?
