Candy floss coloured Rhododendron

If you get the chance, visit Dunedin at this time of year. There are amazing rhododendrons everywhere. The climate really suits them
Actually originally Himalayan in origin, and to save energy or to suit the climate the tree makes very tough leaves that last 3 years rather than the usual one year. It also covers itself In blooms.
I particularly liked this less common colour. Reminds me of candy floss. Only a plant or a rock singer can get away with wearing such a colour! Or who else?
