I planted this tree years ago. It was from the Arbor Day Society, in a bundle of bare root trees. Unfortunately, the label had fallen off some of the trees. So I have NO IDEA what I have here, lol! Anyone have a guess?
I love the little saucer-shaped flowers. The tree had more of them a few weeks ago. It was quite pretty.
I’d sure like to know what kind of tree it is. If I recall correctly, it’s an ornamental that will grow about 15 to 25 feet tall. That’s all i know! Oh, and the flowers bloomed in mid-April.
:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.

This is dogwood for sure, is it not? Can’t see the leaves clearly tho.
Ok, Wikipedia calls it Cornus Florida ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_dogwood ) , but dogwood is almost certain what that is.
Cheers!

The tree IS a dogwood. They grow wild in Louisiana in the central part of the state where I’m from. I now live in the southern part of the state and want to try to grow one in my yard here. They’re beautiful.
