Variegated blooms - yes!

This one has dark red buds that turn into red-pink-white blooms that then fade to pink and white.

Wish I knew it's name! It was huge when I moved in, and now I wonder about pruning it. I have another, huge, old, tree-like Rhodie that is an amazing pale purple (mauve??). That guy was planted under trees and is mostly long branches trying to reach the sun. He undoubtedly needs a very careful pruning over a few years, but mainly he needs that TREE removed! (I don;t have the heart to kill a helathy tree, but the park management might.)

I must have taken these photos before I got my camera. Kind of blurry!

Here's a different Rhodie, dark red, next to a white Azalea. I have a few Azaleas that just started blooming, but my Rhodies' buds haven't opened yet.
