The other dogwood tree

 A Japanese Dogwood.


The pointed petals give it away!


This tree was just starting blooming for this springtime.

      I'd never seen it till recently...perhaps living here is my first exposure to it. Western North Carolina.

      THis is not the same as those in the woods, but cultivated and used for decorative landscaping.

    I never realized that the petals on the dogwood were pointed like that. I love it!

      Only on this variety. The wild dogwood which occurs in our woods all over North Carolina (and elsewhere) doesn't have any pointed petals.

    Gorgeous trees. I like it that they bloom after the native dogwoods are finished.

      That certainly is a nice feature! They are a surprise beauty after many blooming trees are all finished for their year.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
