    This is probably a common houseplant, but I don't know what it's called. Any help is appreciated

    You do know that the "Azalea" is actually a Rhododendron, don't you?

    There actually are tropical species and their hybrids that must be grown in a greenhouse (unless you live in the tropics).

    My apologies. As lorax is about to point out, I misread the suggested species and would have sworn I read Philodendron! I literally get new glasses tomorrow!

    A species or hybrid in the Rhododendron indicum - R. kiusianum - R. simsii group. Hundreds of cultivars, widely produced for the indoor plant trade. Subtropical; not hardy outdoors in IL.

    Well, I used to know Jimmy and if you hung out around him the bar was always open! I haven't seen him in close to 20 years but I'd meet him at Sloppy Joe's in a second! Sorry I can't read any more. New glasses this afternoon!
