Cornus canadensis flowers

So pretty........

I'd never come across this plant before! I'm glad I did, though. :-))

They're very pretty.
So this is another plant flowering when it shouldn't be !

Yes, but I think it's been treated like the Polygala - it's been in a polytunnel, so it's out of synch with the seasons!

I don't mind - I think it's gorgeous like this, even if it's for for one year only!

lovely flowers barbara, so pretty

Such pretty colours and flower

:-)

Oh yes lovely flowers in season or out.......

Strictly speaking, having read the book - they're bracts! I don't know which bits ARE the flowers - but I shall still call these 'flowers'!!

And why not?

Love dogwood flowers...they're so pretty!

the sticky up/out bits are the stamens and pistils. there arent any true petals. it is stunning. i have them as ground cover under the beech tree and in th shed border.

I shall call on my friend Sbg the 'expert' on this plant if I need help, then! LOL.

They haven't been difficult, have they - I hope??

not at all, slow, well stationary for the first year and now slow but steady. i really do like them. no new flowers on mine so i do suspect the polytunnel helped this one.
