Description
This peachy-orangy-apricot color is my favorite when it comes to flowers. This rhododendron lives across the street from me, and I've been enjoying it every time I go in and out of the driveway.
I wasn't being very sneaky when I took this shot. For one thing, I don't think they were home. For another, I don't think they can see me from the house even if they ARE home!
This year I wasn't going to post pictures of rhododendrons, because last year I made you look at about a million different specimens. (Or maybe it was only fifteen. I can't remember. It SEEMED like a million!) However, I never did get one that was quite this color, so here it is! My token rhody for the year.

I love this color, too, in flowers, clothes, well, in just about anything!! This is a gorgeous foto!!
beautiful flower I like the color to...
Gorgeous shot. The color is amazing. I don't know that I've seen this color before. Wickedly great capture.
It is indeed a wonderful color, and you have given us a superb photo to gaze upon...
Superb, Tara! I've got a little azalea this sort of colour, but I can't for the life of me get a decent shot of it. Well done.
Beautiful colors and flower.Wonderful shot.
Are you or are you not a woman? if you think the answer to this question is 'Yes' then it is a woman's prerogative to change her mind. So it is quite acceptable for you to post this token rhody. Lol. Excellent capture Tara, and colour like this you could not, not post it. Even I think it is a gorgeous colour, not too fond of the Rhododendrons myself due to the sticky resin like stuff they exude. I used to play in the dense bushes as a child, my first kiss was in the thick bushes, but now I can't do with them. This however isn't bad, viewing them on the screen is OK. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
Love the lava red colors too. Beautiful. Aloha
It surely is a beauty! Excellent photo!
It is gorgeous ! ...kinda looks like a hibiscus too...lovely capture dear Tara S *** H u g s ***
I agree Tara - this is a glorious color and a lovely macro image! Well done! :)
Well Tare I think you dropped your sneakings ? :) Did you loose the courage? LOL!! Just kidding, my friend :))) A really fantastic color on this Rhodo. Excellent shot.
great color:)
I never saw any orange rhododendrons as I was in Nepal, only rhododendron trees of the usual colour. Excellent and impressive macro! Superb and energetic!
Wonderful shot of this flower Tara, and I am in full agreement, a very lovely colour indeed..
What a super macro! Even the little whiskers on the stamens are so clear! Nice colour, too!
We love it too!!!
Rien de plus beau que des fleurs! même abimé les fleurs restent belles

My favorite rhodie color too, along with the dark blue-purple ones...excellent capture! (I have a photo almost exactly like this one taken at the Japanese Gardens)
QUE HERMOSO TIRO TARA QUE HERMOSO EL COLOR..........
me to !!! :))) excellent shot !
Beautiful color, deatil is very sharp and clean! Very nice, indeed!
Oh wow, this color is just beautiful! I've never seen a rhody this color but I would sure like to. And I love rhody's so feel free to post another one. You won't bore me with shots of them, especially if they are as good as this one, and I'm sure they would be.
thats quite a colour description there tara :o)..its a tangy juice colour and i love the colour as much as you .superb capture :o) mick
this is super. I do love the color
To say that this is peachy keen would be a gross understatement, my dear. Love everything about this macro, i.e., clarity, colors, textures, composition, petals, stamens, ad infinitum. Actually, at first glance I thought it was a hibiscus, but then I saw the stamens. Not as dynamic as Seattle sliding off the end of the earth, but lovely otherwise.
