Curiosity Week 5 - Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus)

My curioity plant this week is the Prunus laurocerasus or the Cherry Laurel from the Rosaceae family. While actually not even a laurel, Prunus laurocerasus was names that because of its similarities to the laurel family. The native region is countries neighboring the Black Sea, such as Turkey, Albania, Bulgaria and Iran. Some key characteristics of the plant are the interesting flowers that originally caught my eye.
