Cornus kousa dogwood

I think they are beautiful.

Oh, aren't they just, Sticki?

I've just planted a little dogwood that I rescued from the supermarket sad shelf...but, I think it's the wrong sort!

i have had mine 2 or 3 years and still none of those lovely white flower/bracts?

you see them on the masters golf, thats when i first decided how fantastic they were [didnt like the golf, only the plants]

I never watch the golf, Sticki...I'm the daughter of what is commonly called a "golf widow"...I lived and breathed it as a child...lol

But that course in Atlanta is just beautiful...

I didn't watch it either Karen, OH watched it, but I noticed the plants! Yes Atlanta is the one, I also like to see when they have the golf at Woburn cos I grew up there, before the course was built!

I can appreciate that, Sticki...

But, I didn't realise that Woburn had not been there for a very, very long time!! You're obviously still a young 'un! ;))

My dad once won the Stirling Open...

Okay, maybe not on the big list, but he did it!! And I was his caddy!
It was a huge cup, with a wee golfer on the top...and he put it in the garden...and taught me how to shoot the golfer with an air-rifle!!!

The wee golfer was mangled!! But my mum was happy because she didn't have to polish the cup! lol! :)))

What an amazing story! That's brilliant Karen, your dad sounds fun!

I lived in Woburn until 1970 it wasn't there then! Nor was milton Keynes!!

My dad was fun, Sticki...I could shoot that gun, bowl a googly and enter a scrum without getting my ears torn off (having done a Maori haka first), all before I was twelve. lol!
Which was probably around the time that they were building Milton Keynes, by the sound of it... ;)

Just accidentally hit the stop following button, so this is just a comment to get it back! lol!

You shot the little golfer with an air rifle? Haha, that is awesome!

You must have had a great childhood!

To be honest, my dad shot the little golfer more than I did...but, I was responsible for quite a few dents in the cup! (she said, proudly) :D

I did have a great childhood, Sticki...my dad was kind of unique. He was brought up in NZ which is another story for another day...and sports mad! I was the honorary "boy"! lol!

lucky you

He only had two girls...and I was the eldest...
