As promised I have been keeping an eye on a couple of stands of Mountain Laurel. These evergreen plants are beautiful. They are long lived. The branches even form great shapes. They are poisonous to Deer so they do not get chomped down to the ground. Most of all they grow wild and just present you with a breath taking display. The display can last even 2 weeks. And as Fran the man told me they are the native shrub for Pennsylvania. So enjoy Natures garden.These Mountain Laurel are growing wild near a fence at the border of a yard. Why even bother planting a Garden you might ask, when mother nature does it for you!!Here's another stand of Laurel. People who visit wonder what it is . They stop look and take pictures. We in the mountains often take this beauty for granted!
