BlueGlancer, please come back and visit often, I too have 5 grandbabies.
The Texas Mountain Laurel is over 10 ft, it thrives on neglect. I bought a 3 ft 5gal. container about 8 or more years ago. It did not bloom for about 5 yrs after planting, but ever since then, it has been putting on a show. It also has a very nice fragrance.
I trimmed the lower branches to give it more of a tree form. It has been gloomy and raining, not good for picture taking. It will be my pleasure to take a picture of the tree for you as soon as I can.
