Just when I thought that the dogwood trees were done for the season, I met this beautiful speciman in Virginia's State Arboretum. It was tall and lush and looked like it hadn't lost a single petal to the rains from the last few weeks.
Most of the dogwoods I see are in Rock Creek Park. They get little light and you see a few spindly flowering branches among the tall trees around them. this tree, on the other hand, gets to soak up lots of sunlight. And it's got to be really. old.
I do love to see things in nature that get taller and prettier as they age!
