The state flower for Pennsylvania is in bloom now. More information on the selection of the mountain laurel for the state flower, which is a blooming shrub rather than a typical flower, can be found here. I just enjoy the brief season with the pale pink blooms showing up along the country roads.
Nature and Life Notes 
So pretty– things are blooming here too– Our state flower is the California Golden Poppy (orange)– My neighbor has a patch in his yard. Thanks for the post Mary.

I remember the fields of poppies when we lived in California our first year of marriage. They were always so pretty.
