Glowing Rhododendron

Although I love the mauve/purple Rhododendrons (well, I would, wouldn't I? lol), this particular one has to be the favourite of those in my garden (orange in its many shades is my next fave colour after purple anyway). When the entire bush is in flower, and the freckled apricot blooms are bathed in bright sunshine, it simply glows - sometimes it seems almost fluorescent. It takes my breath away.
