前日路过，被一束束花儿吸引，每一束又有好些朵小花，每朵像个小灯笼，煞是好看。
昨日路过，有几个小灯笼打开了耶。本以为前日的模样就是这花儿该有的样子，原来那些不过还是花苞苞。幸好走路走神，不然错过精彩。
俺用狗狗找，找出来的是瑞香，怎么看也对不上号。
名不正则言不顺，怎么着也得把这漂亮花儿的名字叫顺溜了。
不懂就问，发朋友圈求教。
马上就有一个朋友响应，告知英文名：Mountain Laurel， 有了这个做指导，狗狗马上找来，一模一样的呀。再请狗狗好狗做到底，帮忙找出中文名：山月桂。
这时候，另一个朋友的答案也来了：山月桂，康州州花。
哇塞，俺天天忙不迭贴花儿，居然不晓得州花，敢情是个花叶公呐
抄一段，瞧瞧为嘛山月桂摘得康州桂冠：
Designated as the State Flower by the General Assembly in 1907, the Mountain Laurel is perhaps the most beautiful of native American shrubs. Its fragrance and the massed richness of its white and pink blossoms so vividly contrast with the darker colors of the forests and the fields that they have continually attracted the attention of travelers since the earliest days of our colonization. First mentioned in John Smith's "General History," in 1624 specimens were sent to Linnaeus, the famous botanist, by the Swedish explorer Peter Kalm in 1750.
Linnaeus gave it the name of Kalmia latifolia, honoring the name his correspondent and at the same time describing the "wide-leafed" characteristic of the plant. In addition to being called the "Mountain Laurel," the plant has also been spoken of as "Calico Bush" and "Spoonwood."
