Resplendent in Pink

I went to one of my favourite places in Edinburgh today the Royal Botanic Gardens. It's gorgeous any time of the year which is why I try to visit as often as I can and amazingly happens to be free! It was difficult to make a photo choice today, I had a wonderful photo of a gnarled looking tree I loved but this Rhododendron tree was pretty spectacular. In the end it was maybe the colour that swayed me, the flowers looked so beautiful in the late afternoon sun. A lot of the Rhododendron bushes have yet to flower but this one had bloomed and was wilting already. I imagine that if I go back in a couple of weeks that the garden will be a riot of colour as more of these trees come into bloom.
