I am not a botanist, but do enjoy many of the plants I come across in my wanderings. Dogwood is not a rare plant and typically has these four petaled (often white) flowers. What is a little uncommon is that plants in this family are both flowering bushes (several meters tall, which you can commonly see in California’s Sierra Nevada National Parks) and a low growing plant barely above the ground.
While hiking through Saguenay Fjord National Park in Quebec, I came across this rather pretty grouping of low growing Dogwood that I thought I would share with you this fine Saturday.
Now get out there and go find some on your own hike!
I love dogwoods and living in Texas — at least in my neck of the woods — I don’t see them very often. Your photos are so beautiful!
