Dogwood

Dogwood (Cornus florida) belongs to the Cornaceae family. It is a deciduous tree that can grow to a height of 15 to 30 feet, displaying a broadly pyramidal shape.

These flowers are actually bracts, modified leaves that surround the true flowers, which are small and inconspicuous. read more ›
