Postcard From The Woods
Actually not from the woods but from a very nice garden that was open during Virginia Historic Garden Week. But the dogwoods are blooming in the woods too – although the last couple of very hot days is shortening the bloom time. Other than that, it’s been a fabulous spring for dogwoods, rebuds, sassafras and other native blooming trees..
These beautiful flowers bring a smile on my face !
Here it’s raining non-stop since Sunday…:( Just gloomy everywhere…
As a child I remember Virginia’s forests as a light show of dogwood blossoms among the shadows, an absent feature in the woods of Washington State. Our pacific coast dogwoods, while robust, are less generous with their blooms dotted about the limbs among the leaves.
