Watch out for those dogwood packs!




Driving my school bus a few weeks ago, I noticed that the dogwoods run in packs. I'd drive a mile and see no dogwoods, then a patch of white would show 20 or 30 dogwoods in a grove. One thing I noticed is that they seem to tend to be on the edge of the woods or in the disturbed parts of the woods. They don't grow under the old growth, rather in the younger sections of the woods, including the areas that burned.

It was really pretty this spring for wildflowers. I can look out my window here at home and see dogwood, daisies and various other wildflowers, including a bright red flower that is in the shade.
