Trees and Shrubs: Mountain Laurel

This evergreen shrub puts forth clusters of white-to-pink, honeycomb-shaped flowers during June and July. It is the state flower of both Connecticut and Pennsylvania, but can be found along the Appalachian Trail anywhere south of New England. The shrubs can grow quite large, often in thick groves.
