Rhododendron wardii var puralbum

OK, the title sounds impressive, but I looked this up on Wikipedia and found a picture of something that looked similar for the name :)

Another pretty miserable day weather-wise in Edinburgh; plus I was up at the crack of sparrows and in work early. What the hell is wrong with me?

These were growing outside my friend Carla's house. She left me on her doorstep in the rain for ages, so I made good my time with my Lumia set to its decidedly haphazard Macro mode... A positive take on a crumby day (made better by cake with Carla!).
