Bloom Time

All throughout the woods in our yard and neighborhood (and the Pinelands) Mountain Laurel is in bloom.


Look closely at the flowers. The stamens are held in pockets in the flower and when an insect such as a bee visits, the stamens spring out, spraying pollen on the visitor.


This fact, that at least to me, makes the flowers even more interesting and enjoyable.
