LOL, Donner, it will get there!!

I love both my dogwoods:

A pink flowering dogwood (Cornus florida f. rubra)--larval host for spring azure butterflies, special value to native bees, supports Conservation Biological Control, and attracts birds with its fall fruit, plus lovely pink blossoms in April that look so pretty with my azaleas.

A red twig dogwood (Cornus sericea 'Arctic Fire')--larval host for spring azure butterflies, and attracts birds with its fall fruit. oh, and I just love the red twigs which are such a nice spot of color between November and March.

Love my dogwoods! A photo with the dogwood branches in it:
