Native Flowering Dogwood

Posted on April 26, 2012 by

You could say I have an obsession with spring flowering trees, especially our native dogwoods. Is it a mystery why?

I adore flowers and branches shrouded with tree-flowers are even more romantic, perhaps because we are seeing repeating flower shapes, en masse.

Even with only the tiniest bit of space, I encourage everyone to plant a tree-garden. Contact me if you need help in finding the perfect tree for your garden.

    This is fabulous. There are many of these pink flowering dogwoods in my neighborhood and I’ve been obsessed with them, but didn’t know what they were. Thank you!
