September 13, 2020 at 5:16pmI’m missing MY dogwood trees, back in New Jersey. There are some here, I think, but the seasons were tied to ours.
We had an interesting one outside our kitchen window. Originally a dogwood with white blooms, over the last couple of years we were there, I noticed that it would have white blooms, and then, a short while later, pink ones.
It took me a couple of years to realize what had happened: a samara from a pink dogwood tree had lodged itself in the crotch of the white dogwood, and somehow found enough soil and moisture (this was the north side of the house) to set out roots when it germinated, and they had somehow penetrated into the white dogwood, thus doing a highly improbable self transplant.
I love science! It makes magic.

I can still put myself there. I have to make an effort to get all the pictures into one place so I can see them.
