Azaleas (really rhodies) at the flower show

I belong to a garden club, and my favorite part is that every three months, people get together and bring things they’ve grown that are beautiful. I find them irresistable to photograph. Here’s a sprig of azaleas, oops, now I see they are rhododendrons!, a peachy pink color that I am in love with. And if you’d like more pink, hie on over to Pink Saturday.

This rhodie photo is one of my absolute faves, so I think I’ll include it for Shadow Shot Sunday and Flowers for Today, and what the heck, let’s go for Macro Monday while we’re on a roll. All those meme sites have super participation from talented photographers, so take a look.

   Sara, I have added your link to my Pink Saturday list, and I am going to add you to my weekly reminder e-mail. I hope it will be helpful.

   Your photos are always fantastic, and this one is no exception. I love azaleas, and this shade of pink is so delicate and lovely.

   Thank you for joining with us. I hope you will enjoy.

   Welcome to Pink Saturday! Your photographs are amazing, I am in awe!

   Today I’ve got Part II of For a Princess (with Part I recapped) – and as it is centered around a celebration, it fits perfectly what with all of the little princesses in their pink tiaras; ) I hope you can come by –

    Thanks for stopping by! I’ve got about 5 pieces and they are all similar but none are marked the same. Must be just a popular pattern at one time. My pink cupcake plate I got 4 of and the guy I bought them from had the whole set and the plastic tote they were in collapsed and broke all but these 4. Made in japan is all I can read. They are lovely though, I bought them just to put the cupcakes on. Good luck with finding out what they are!
    Hugs,Lisa

    I thought that was a rhododendron! But then I have been told they are related, so I guess I was not too far away! Beautiful flowers anyhow – and a brilliant shot! Love the lighting!

    What a gorgeous rhododendron! I wonder if it’s hardy enough for my climate. Probably not…but I can dream.

    Rhodie – I always get them confused. I just have to ask my husband which one it is usually. 🙂

    Pretty color, love pink flowers and this is a super photograph, especially like the dark background which really makes them stand out. Thank you very much for sharing them with Today’s Flowers.

    A beautiful photo for a beautiful flower!!!!:)

    Just to let you know, I’ve seen this accidental dark background, that I like so much, before. It comes from taking a closeup of a flower that’s in direct sunlight. Somehow the automatic exposure compensates so much for the super brightness of the light on the petals that it underexposes the background.

    Great shot and what a pretty pastel color.
