Here is our special red mountain laurel just starting to bloom in the park.  

 

It is the only one I’ve ever seen, and I love checking in with it every year.  It’s not a big bush like some others in the park, but it catches my eye, especially when it blooms.  The buds are bright red, and they open to a soft pink.  

 

Very special.  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
