Growing Texas Mountain Laurel? Here’s what you need to know: 1. Gets these beautiful blooms each spring - smell like grape punch 2. Drought-tolerant and tough plant 3. Slow-growing small multitrunked tree 4. You might see genista caterpillars - hand pick, leave them for the birds or if the infestation is severe, treat Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a bacterial insecticide that only kills the caterpillars. #texasmountainlaurel #genistacaterpillar #arizonagarden #desertblooms #desertgarden #landscap

Within each Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) flower, the pollen-bearing anthers are initially tucked into a small pocket on the periphery. When a bee visits the flower, it will bump into the stalk-like filament, causing the bulbous anther to quickly pop out of its pocket, whack the bee, and dust it with pollen. As this bee visits other Mountain Laurel flowers, it delivers this pollen to the sticky stigma, enabling cross-pollination. You gotta be tough to be a bee! | Southern Piedmont Natural H
