Sheep laurel (Kalmia angustifolia)
In the same family (ericaceae) is the bright-pink-flowered Sheep Laurel. It is as common on the barrens as Labrador tea, and
adds a splash of colour to terrain dominated by grasses, rock, and
lichens. I'm always surprised at how something so striking can grow out of
what looks like solid rock. I took this picture walking up Signal Hill in
downtown St. John's.
