Description
I found these beside the trail that leads to Rainbow Falls in the Smoky Mountains national park. I thought the plants were mountain laurel, but these flowers don't look anything like the laurel I grew up with years ago in Pennsylvania. I liked how these look, and shot the picture.

Super capture, I am sure someone here can help name this one. Well done!

Found it. What I took a picture of is Rosebay Rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum), not mountain laurel. Now I know. LOL

How stunning. A multi bloom from one pod. Excellent.
