Labrador tea 'Ledum palustre'


Labrador tea 'Ledum palustre'

These bushes behind the cabin are blooming much larger than others I've found. The bushes are very large, most are small and string along the muskeg.

Thanks Gilli. These are blooming all over the countryside. They are needly, so there's a soft smell about them too. I keep snapping shots. :-)
