Dustytoes, The next best thing to having a dogwood in your back yard is having one in your next door neighbor's yard!

Ecopsychology - How Wild Nature Can Heal The Broken Spirit

Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida): Spring's Early Pink, Red, Salmon, or White Pastels
The tapestry is my favorite. I never paid attention to dogwood (I don't think I saw it in Romania; apparently it does exist but it's not something we talk or read about) but I kept finding references to it in English-language fiction. I can now ...
