Pennsylvania State Flower:
Mountain Laurel is the official Pennsylvania State Flower. Mountain Laurel, a wildflower, is also the state flower of Connecticut. Copycats. J/K ...... :)
Mountain Laurel flowers are star-shaped, growing in clusters, with colors ranging from red to pink to white. They bloom between May and June. The Mountain Laurel flower stamens have a mechanism to eject pollen when tripped by a bee. (You can see the hooked stamens in pic) How great is that?
Mountain Laurel flowers are also called Ivybush, Calico Bush, Spoonwood, Sheep Laurel, Lambkill and Clamoun.
These are just so pretty. Why not add a local beauty to your bouquet?
