It seemed like a fine day to post this picture I took this morning.

Dogwood

I agree, that's a dogwood. The turners sure do like it for bowls. That's a pretty flower.

Geeee, I only have a couple on the farm here.

They are not in bloom as yet, at this elevation.

Nice photo, Don P.

Don't worry Frank, it's not blooming up here yet either. We were down near Charlotte, about a zone or zone and a half below us.
There's a story told by my Grandmother about the dogwood. The Cross was dogwood. Its flower was already in the shape of a cross but smooth edged. The holes from the nails and spilled blood were put on every bloom at this time lest we forget. At the old homeplace I can't recall an Easter without the blooms...Easter varies by a month.
Anthracnose is on our regular (florida) dogwoods pretty bad, how are yours fairing Frank? Did you plant or are they native?
We also have a few alternate (pagoda) dogwoods here in the woods. I like the form.
