Having just done a little research into cornus, or dogwood (other historic names include Hound's Tree and whippletree), I came across a painting titled 'Dogwood' by Bierstadt. The natural archway formed by the trees is beautiful, especially with the soft lighting and colours.
The dogwood tree is one of my favourites. It's beautiful in bloom and wonderful for Autumn colour. I'd love to see them used in British gardens. They seem very rare here. Your blog is lovely.
