Laurels, mostly, for Mountain Laurels
Mountain laurel show
It has been a fine year for Mountain Laurels, well, everywhere except the patch in our yard. That one is putting on a fairly meager flower show, but I don't have to walk very far to find really splendid laurels. These evergreen, acid-soil-loving shrubs, bloom at about the same time that the Multiflora Roses come into glory, but unlike the latter species, Kalmia latifolia is all blossom and no scent. This makes no difference to the local bees, which have been quite happy to work the laurel flowers, and while I enjoy Multiflora perfume, I too don't mind an eyes-only display. Neither, I'd venture, does my camera.
