Yes, rodos and azaleas sometimes have a late second flowering, usually
just a few blooms. We always get a few, it happens with other plants
too, particularly wisteria.
You should find more buds that have not flowered which will be next
year,s.

Certainly when Elizabeth once flowered for me in late Oct/Nov it did not
form a new set of buds for the following spring.
Though on the whole I would say it has been my most reliable rhodie.
