Mountain Laurel

The mountain laurel, the newly learned name for the budding bushes we've been watching for weeks, is blooming.  I've never seen anything like it, and I'm just stopping quickly by to document its loveliness for you.

  1. IT's beautiful! I've never seen it before, but it has similarities to Rhododendrons. Thank you for sharing a new flower.

  2. I have to go see them!! It's at that trail we went to weeks ago? Do you want to get together again this afternoon/evening?

  3. I'm wondering the same thing as "L"... Are these the buds we saw walking when I was with you? They are stunning up close!

  4. Yes, these are the same ones we saw budding before. Haven't they turned out beautifully? Not at all like I imagined!!
