Nostalgia Trip

Video of Mountain Laurel bursting forth. I am told that it is too hot for it grow where I live. And now: The rest of the story. my grandmother's family lived in the mountains and to visit them one drove past large stands of mountain Laurel and when in bloom i enjoyed them. Move forward about 30 yrs. my best friend had property in the mountains of north Carolina and had lots of Mountain Laurel on his property and he and i were friends close enough to say 'here hold my beer'. the statute of limitations has not run out on some of the adventures yet. On visits to his property, he loaned me a number of Mountain Laurel bushes. My friend has passed many many years ago, but with the spring breeze moving the blooms and buds and them flourishing in the wrong environment, have to wonder whether grandmother or my friend are watching over them. Always brings back a memory flood when they bloom.
