Summer flowers @ Mt Rogers/Grayson

[Ashepabst]

anyone know about when the summer flowers -- catawbas, azaleas, mt laurel -- normally peak in this area?

i've caught the catawbas peaking at Roan in the second week of June. i know Roan's pretty close, but it's higher elev. but, i wanted to double check -- see if anyone has any insight.

thanks much.

Rhododendron Gap usually peaks in the second week in June (pink rhododendrons.)

The lower elevation white rhododendrons are usually in early July.
