Dogwood Flowers & Tree
May 12th, 2008 by Leora
Here are the flowers on my neighbor’s dogwood tree.
Here’s the whole dogwood tree.
I learned from Gail that the cherry trees bloom first, and then the dogwoods show their flowers.
See my dogwood painting.
Very nice tree. This year we have new neighbours who seem to be interested in gardening so we might get nice views too!
My neighbors had a local talented landscape designer pick the trees and plants for their backyard. The neighbor on the other side liked what she saw; she hired the landscape designer to pick some native plants for her front yard. So that neighbor has no grass in front, just plants.
Aren’t they pretty! Is there anything as glorious as spring? Even though the thought of beautiful weather all year round is enticing, I would truly miss springtime if I lived somewhere warm where there was no change of season.
Gail, I’m enjoying photographing the flowers. I like winter, too, and we don’t get much here in New Jersey! They had more snow in Israel than we did.
I might want to do the top photo as a watercolor, as I really like the composition.
Oh yes, that would make a wonderful watercolor.
I enjoy winter too. We also had a mild one in the Washington DC area. I think it snowed once, maybe twice, and it wasn’t very much of a snow either time. I like to see a couple of big snows every winter – deep enough to keep everyone home from work and school. Snow days are fun. (still a kid at heart, I guess)
I love dogwood trees – looks so beautiful.
hihorosie, me too. Nice to have a neighbor who plants pretty trees.
