Old rhododendron.

Past it's best .. Oh dear ,poor thing :o(

I think it is still charming, don´t you think so?

This might make an interesting mosaic, except pink glass is nearly impossible to find!

Does it mean British people do not wear pink glasses nowadays? :)))

Rose tinted spectacles! I meant stained glass, they make pink and red by using real gold!

Ach!

I love old rhododendrons! They may not be as full as they were when they were young but I love how the branches twist and curl like that. I saw several rhododendrons and mountain laurels like that in Connecticut and Pennsylvania and I thought they were the most beautiful.

I like them also, not matter how old are they - if they have healthy leaves and are blooming, they are beautiful shrubs.
