Faded!

My neighbour have a beautiful front garden, which they manage to keep a riot of colour whatever the season. At the moment it is wonderful, alive with hot pinks, oranges and beautiful purples, 
In the midst of all this I found this wonderful perfect faded flower, I guess it must have been the heat of recent days because despite fading to a rather sad beige colour, the flower is still perfectly formed in every way, not wilted at all. Even more than that though I really love the traces of pink left on just a few of the petals.
I think it is really photogenic!
