The dogwood (Cornus florida) buds are swelling on the trees in our woods, but it will be a couple of weeks or so before they open. Then, they will look like this:
It won't be long until there are blooms. My next door neighbor has several dogwoods in her yard, close to our mutual fence line. I always enjoy the blooms.

When the buds are on the trees, it's such an exciting time! Enjoy your weekend:)

ReplyDeleteA lovely sign of spring, along with your serviceberries. I miss both from Virginia, not that anything would be budding this early in Michigan anyway.
