If you're local you've seen these everywhere the last couple of weeks, and maybe even smelled the grape-kool-aid scent of the flowers. If you're not local, these here are the Texas mountain laurels I keep telling you aboot.
This is a typical TML, in it's less bushy landscaped form. This one happens to be in the parking lot of a local grocery store.
Looking up into the branches
A close-up of the flowers; this is apparently part of the mescal bean family, which is probably a relative of the pea.
This particular TML had purpler flowers than some I've seen, which are almost white. But most are a medium lavender shade.
I tried to get a picture of a bee, but he was in mid-flight; you can see the blur in the center of the picture.
There's that bee- a little to the left of the center. They love TMLs as you can imagine.
