Dogwood Tree

20 Comments

British Columbia’s provincial flower is the Pacific dogwood.

The name comes from the fact that sailors used the wood of this tree to make nails, otherwise known as dags – or later, dogs – in ship repairs.

It has been British Columbia’s provincial flower since 1956.

So elegant and sparkling in either white or the dogwood’s alternative colour, pink, it’s another marvellous addition to the spring pantheon of beauty.

Happy Tuesday.

    1. I think that both the pink and the white ones are very lovely. The green leaves are very small at this stage and so they look like the blooms are growing straight out of the bark. And yes, all the other details make them stunningly beautiful.
