I'm lucky to have a microclimate that lets my mountain laurel survive long,cold, northern New England winters. This favorite of mine;a late spring blooming shrub, native to the warmer climate of my homestate of NewJersey, always brings fond springtime memories with its waxy,parisol buds and open clusters of little bell-like flowers.

About this contest
In the garden, the signs of spring are subtle but significant. Snow recedes and brown turns to green as the weather warms and the daylight lengthens. Grab your camera and post a "spring awakenings" photo in this gallery by April 15 for a chance to win a prize.
Fine Gardening's staff members will choose a winner based on design appeal, creativity, and photo quality. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate from White Flower Farm. See the Official Contest Rules for details.
