What’s in bloom Mountain Laurel along the Blue Ridge Parkway
Mountain laurel, a broad-leaf evergreen shrub, blooms May to June in elevation dependent patterns. Whitish pink five sided blossoms cluster in an inverted umbrella shape with a dark pink ring and magenta pollen. The plant can reach 12 feet by 8 feet in understory light, or become a 30 foot tree on slopes, with toxic parts historically used for spoons by Native Americans.
