Yes, it's an azalea. Those buds you see are for next spring, maybe we can give you an ID then.

thank you. ya its a real small tree i dont think you can see the "trunk" but its smaller than a pencil, actually about 3 toothpicks around. i didnt get a real good picture of the buds but they sure look like they are about to open. you say they are for next year? just found a better pic. you can see the one on the right.

Yes it does look like its about to flower. Probably a month or two behind the usual flowering time. Did you buy it in this pot, or have you done this yourself?

Most Azaleas are evergreen, and as a nursery grown plant (maybe even greenhouse) the flowering cycle can be off.

Azaleas bloom as the days get longer, so if it was a recently rooted cutting, grown in a greenhouse and then given more light it could trigger blooms out of season.

It will get on a normal bloom cycle IF it gets a normal day/night cycle. However I am not sure that this variety of Azalea is cold hardy in Buffalo, NY, I am lead to believe that you have really harsh winters.

A bright window and a cool room if possible. Be careful not to overwater.
