∙ 10y agoOn May 05, 1933 the General Assembly of Pennsylvania chose the Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) as the state flower. The woody evergreen shrub is native to the eastern U.S. and can grow 8 feet tall with dark, waxy oblate leaves. The single, fragrant, pink, bell flowers bloom in clusters of 20 flowers or more. The 5 fused petals have a total of 10 dark anthers touching the petal and there is a dark pink 10-pointed "star" within the bloom. Mountain laurel is also called ivybush, calico bush, sheep laurel, lambkill, clamoun and spoonwood. It was first recorded in America in 1624, and the entire plant is poisonous.
