As I have mentioned in the past on NYPAOS, I am always wowed when I see a really glorious specimen of Kalmia latifolia or mountain laurel. Particularly if it's not growing in the wild, or along the Garden State Parkway. This specimen at Longwood Gardens similarly impressed me.
The foliage is dark and glossy and not a sign of chlorosis to be found. Best of all, a small tease for spring: the plant was loaded with flower buds.
