I love the leggy asymmetry of straight species Kalmia Latifolia. The varieties they sell in nurseries are unnaturally "perfect." Many mature out as dwarf-size, dense, symmetrical plants. But the wild, straight species grows to be a sizable shrub / small tree. In northern Delaware, they are plentiful on shady wooded hillsides. But I've seem then equally at home in South Jersey on the coastal plain as understory growth in oak / pine forests.
You should go back in winter time where the evergreens stand out. Near my house there is a park with hilsides full of not just monutain laurel but wild rhododendron maximum , which is unusual on the piedmont . (No hemlocks though.) .
That’s a really cool area I wish eastern white pine were more common growing native in ATL area but we do get virgina pine and loblolly a lot which is nice, I’m planning on planting some though
Beautiful area, been awhile 🤗🌴♥️ Blessings 🌴Jose's Tropical Garden 🌴
Gorgeous.
Looks lush enough to support a population of Gigantopithicus.

Hope you can come by to NCTM before you’re off to college.
Saba minors would be great there.
