Thinking Pink

I have a lot of pink flowers blooming now. For instance, this rose that fellow Valley Writer Bob Sandy gave me a few years ago is a wonderful shade of deep pink:

Behind it are some azaleas that were here when we bought this place in 1999. Do you think they qualify as pink?

They almost look orange, but I think they're really more pink than they are orange. Now the azaleas below are definitely pink.

So are these.

This peony, in front of the pink azaleas, has a very pale touch of pink, but it looks white in the picture. 

These begonias I bought yesterday are pink.

Some of the dianthus near the gazebo have deep pink centers.

The miniature rose is pale pink.

But is this iris pink? Or is it mauve? Is mauve kind of pink?

What about this one by the mailbox? I think it's a delicate pink.

The other irises near the mailbox are sort of lavender, although they have a pinkish cast. Well, sort of.

Depends on how you look at them. . . . 

Perhaps pink is in the eye of the beholder?

Ya think?
