A sea of Flowering Dogwood buds (Cornus florida) in a sea of crimson.
These Dogwoods set their buds in late summer, in preparation for the following spring. Winter follows, with the button shaped buds patiently waiting for their time, when they expand and open into showy bracts in early-to-mid spring.
Nature is amazing.
