The mountain laurel, late in blooming this year, is finally flowering. It blooms in a small woods near our home. I like to photograph the pristine white flowers illuminated by the canopy of trees and sky.
This Spring, everything has been late in coming into leaf or flower, we’ve waited on just about everything, including the warm weather. I found quite a few quotes on waiting and some lauded the ability to wait while others criticized the tendency. I liked this one by Lincoln…
“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
Today I think I will choose to hustle!
Your photo is gorgeous.

Yes, there is mountain laurel on our mountains. We saw some struggling to bloom this past week. The prettiest one I ever saw lived in our yard on Long Island! We were practically at sea level, and that thing bloomed its heart out. I suspect the little topsoil we had was richer than mountain dirt.

I don’t think we had as much bloom this year, but maybe I missed the peak time.

I agree with you. I think the poor plants were confused by the crazy weather.
