Dogwood

34 Comments

The dogwood has been B.C.’s provincial flower since 1956.

I’m trying to teach this bird some tricks–

The petal count for blossoms. 

Though some have four, some five, some six,

The difficulty’s awesome.

 

Provincial flower of B.C.,

I am in fact a tree,

My flowers bloom for all to see,

I glow with majesty.

    This really surprised me. I’m accustomed to thinking of dogwood as a southern flower. Clearly, I know almost nothing about the climate/environment of BC!

    What a great photo. I have to look that dogwood, I don’t know it.
