Jeff, in my small, almost flat, country we haven't mountains like in your country. What we have too however are the Kalmia latifolia flowers. Because the lack of mountains it hasn't the nickname 'mountain laurel, but 'lepelboom' (spoon tree in English).
Some further details: spoon tree is a hardy, slow-growing evergreen shrub that grows up to 2 m high and flowers in May and June. The flowers are pink, red or white. After flowering, the spoon tree forms round fruits. The lanceolate leaves are poisonous.

Thanks for this very fine picture!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
