Mountain laurel on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week.

We don't see mountain laurel much any more. As the state flower, it is protected, and you just can't transplant a bush you find in the wild.
For years, we lived next to people who had it in their yard. I don't think I've come across it since my mother moved out.
Thanks for reminding me. 8)
