Meet Percy Wiseman - it lives in my garden and is much loved.
The blossoms of this rhododendron change colour gradually fading to a creamy white. It has prolific flowers this year, unlike some years when they are are sparce.
Taken late this afternoon with Canon 450D - for Friday of course :)

At first I thought perhaps you enjoyed anthropomorphizing your garden's inhabitants, Lyn, but a Google search of Percy Wiseman tells me that's the actual name of this plant, a semi-dwarf evergreen shrub. That is so cool that it changes color. I do admit to being ignorant of much of the floral world but I've never heard of a flower conducting its business in such a manner. Its beauty is well-illustrated in your excellent photo and the framing does it justice.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

'Percy Wiseman' creates, with her subtle colors, a dreamy appearance, Lyn.
Wonderful Foofy Friday image!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
