Mountain Laurel
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
There are many advantages to living in the mountains, but the late Spring display put on by Mountain Laurel is definitely one of the nice things we can enjoy. This photo was snapped at the end of May.
I thought they were white, that is the only color pictures I have seen, so they have different colors? These are gorgeous. I live in the mountains, and have not yet seen even ONE!! I'm thinking you need to be a hiker or trail walker or something!
That's a beautiful treat that late in spring. This is Connecticut's state flower, and I love it. Always so beautiful and clean and wonderfully complex.
Re: automatic gates and things I was fortunate not to live behind such bars, LOL. We had the option of living in a High Rise Condo with elevators, or a low rise 4 to 5 storeys where I had to climb the stairs. I didn’t want to be stuck in a elevator if it broke.
In deed, my 60 something friends were stuck in an elevator for 6 hours. In another case, when they were fixing the elevators, it was either a lock in or lock out.They gave the notification, on Sunday, we are fixing the elevator from10 am to 5 pm, at this time , you either stay out or stay in.

It sure is pretty!
If I had to pick top ten of all the flowers you and Betsy have posted, it would be difficult but I think this one would be on that list for sure.
Thank you for your visit and comment on my Scenic Sunday blog. I so love this flower, the Mountain Laurel. I've never seen it before.
