DOGWOODS IN BLOOM

Dogwood trees are easily identified

by their 4-petal flower, with several

varieties now in bloom.

The pink flowering dogwood is commercially

available, and a popular variety for homes and parks.

In the wild, throughout woodlands in the 

Eastern part of the U.S., the genus is white.

Early native Americans used the fruits

for jams and cooking, and as a medicine

colds and flu.

No mistaking these beautiful

pink dogwoods throughout town.
