Crumpled

White Azaleas are stunning in their white show stage, but after they dazzle their audience, they look like crumpled paper--lovely all the same (especially up close--from afar, they look ragged and spent).

Agreed. Lovely crumpledness.

@squamloon Thanks! I could call it "Beautiful Death" too, but who am I kidding?

[Danette Thompson]

Pretty color and wonderful dof.

[Jacqui Paterson]

Nice capture of the end of the blooms life.
