The Next Blossoms

These are some of my favourite blooms of the season: Dogwood blossoms. They range from deep pink to bright white to this in-between mix seen here. The dew/rain from last night was still on the petals when I snapped this on my way to the office this morning. The entire tree turns into bright pink or bright white, and I love driving around town and seeing all of them. Fortunately, the dogwoods stay in bloom for a reasonable amount of time...unlike daffodils and tulips. Next on the agenda: Irises!

Love the dewdrops on the dogwood.

You grow many things that we can not. Wish we had some of your rain. Nice blog...

Yeah, and then there are lilacs, that only last about 1-1/2 weeks, if you are lucky. Ours are almost gone already, and I think we are getting upwards of two weeks out of them this year. Wish they could be around longer.
