Paul,

Dogwood trees grow wild in this area, and people also plant them in their yards for decoration.  All of the Dogwood trees bloomed early this year.  Their blossoms have come and gone.  They were spectacular as usual. 

You bring up a good point.  I do not remember ever seeing any Dogwood trees in Piedmont Park.  I do remember seeing them in the Atlanta neighborhoods surrounding the Park.  I will have to pay attention more next year.

Is the BC Provincial Dogwood Flower pink or white?  Do Dogwood trees grow wild in BC too?
