We've been seeing 'wild' one's up in the slightly higher elevations mixed in with the pines - the weather has been cooler than usual so there aren't a lot open yet but we keep driving back waiting...I brought a few branches home and those matured and opened fully
I'm seriously thinking of seeing if I can get a pink and/or white hybrid to grow in my garden - they are so lovely!! But we may get too hot and dry in the summers
their zone. in my climate they grow
really well and for the last few weeks
the cornus flowers have been out, a
very pretty sight. it is our provincial
flower so it is an offence to pick them
but some night i am going to be a
rebel and get one small branch for
displaying in a vase.
don't tell any one
I know that they grow very well about 1500 feet higher and I've seen the domesticated ones closer, but we've got a windy and dry exposure during the summer so I'll have to do some investigation
