A photograph of a Mountain Laurel shrub in bloom, with the focus on a close-up of a few branches covered in both dark green leaves and pale pink, cup-shaped flowers.
More plant-posting, this time some Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) in a nearby state park. This shrub looks more or less like the evergreen-dicot-ever until it blooms, lining the riverbanks with contrasting pale pink and dark green colors. #nativeplants #botany #alabama #mountainlaurel
