| | Mountain Laurel |
 | | It is a smaller plant, the blooms grow less clustered, are usually much pinker,and the leaves grow mostly in whorls of three as opposed to the alternate leaves of Mountain Laurel. | | | This "anchoring" causes the stamens to form little springs, and as the flower matures, the ends of the stamens are suddenly released from the petals, literally catapaulting their pollen into the air. | | | Mountain Laurel lives in the mountains from Maine to Georgia, much to our blessings.There's nothing like finding a sunny slope covered in a veritable glacier of laurel in bloom! |

| | Although laurel briar was said to be inferior to the imported variety, the production of pipes from it fostered a sizeable industry in the mountain communities of western North Carolina. | | | That's because honey made from the mountain laurel's nectar has a nauseating smell, sharp taste, and indeed can make one ill with cramps and vomiting. | | | For that reason, it has long been a practice of beekeepers to throw out the honey that comes from mountain laurel's blossoms and await sweeter stuff. |
