A Repeat


I've posted this photo before, back in 2011, but, of all the dogwood blossoms I've photographed, this one is my favorite.  So, I hope you'll forgive me for a double posting. 

Interestingly, the actual blossoms are the tiny yellow flowers on the center mound.  The white 'petals' are really just bracts to attract pollinators.  Hmmm...maybe the dogwood trees think all insects are near-sighted!

  4. Such a pretty flower, I'm sure the variety I have never flowers, if so I must have missed them. The close up photo gives such detail, lovely.
