Dogwoods in bloom!


Warm spring weather in Georgia saw the wild Dogwoods in our neighborhood in full bloom this week.
The flowers consist of four bracts below the small head of yellow flowers. The bracts may be pink or red depending on cultivar but the species color is white.
Wild Dogwoods, "Cornus florida", is regarded by most Georgians as unrivaled in beauty.

OK - now you're just rubbing it in ... our snow has melted though but we are still many weeks away from anything actually growing. I don't know how the pioneers didn't starve to death out here!
