Gray Dogwood Just Beginning

May 22, 2026

Gray Dogwood (Cornus racemosa) blooming in late May. Blooming where there is sunshine reaching its topmost branches. Only there. Other buds waiting in the shade for June to approach. Gray Dogwood with its white blossoms. Blossoms that will become apple-green berries and turn a creamy-white as July makes its appearance.
