The Delicate Beauty of the Azalea Flower

When you look at the thick, strong green leaves of the azalea plant, you would not expect that their pretty flowers are so delicate. Rain, wind or even the slightest touch can easily bruise them. But when the azalea flower has just opened and is lit by the sun from behind, the light passing through their delicate blossoms, the intricate color hues seem to emerge with vibrance, turning the azalea flower into an almost magically glow.
