AZALEA
These flowers were in a front garden in one of our main streets and they seemed to have bloomed recently. The anthers of these flowers called my attention as they seemed to be silver; color which I though quite unusual. They did shine and seem silver from far away although when observed from nearby one could realize the anthers were actually white. I think the pictures shows the silver like anthers quite well.

Natralist, sorry, but is it commonly called vuykes rosy red or azalea? I wrote what you suggested but as the wiki doesn´t say that that is the common name, I wondered. But you probably know more. The thing is that as I am from a spanish speaking country so I don´t know common names of flowers in English much. Thank you once more.
Thank you much NatralList, yes they are what we call Azaleas. And yes Gerardo, they did seem silver. Greetings =)
Wow this is so beautiful it looks like the anthers are made of silver :)
