Mountain Laurel

Very slow growing but very worth it. This Mountain Laurel is 15 years old already.

Those flowers are gorgeous, and I like the unopened buds even more than the open flowers!

Beautiful banner!

Great banner. Love the cute little buds--like a little decorative candy on a cake.

You captured it at a great stage, with some fully opened blooms, and lots of buds. It made a super subject for your banner.

Zoia, this is a fantastic banner!

Nancy, I feel the same way about Christmas cactus. The buds look like tiny light bulbs. The flowers are very pretty, just not as fun as the buds. The novelty of picking them up off of the floor a few days later also fades. Too big to leave to the vacuum.

The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Yes, they do look like light bulbs! I don't really have anyplace to grow those types of cacti any longer, only an east window that would get the most light and only early morning. I do miss growing them.
