When the Mountain Laurels bloom, they are unusually beautiful. Unfortunately, they were never seen in the garden because they were out of the way. Now, I have added a path and steps beside them that will force you to enjoy the show.

Kalmia latifolia 'Heart's Desire' (Mountain Laurel)...one of the most beautiful of our native American plants. Close-up Kalmia latifolia 'Heart's Desire'
At the top of this climb is early blooming Tulip Magnolia. More often than not, the flowers turn to mush because they get hit by a freeze. I enjoy it profusely the years that I can (like this one).
