Description
I caught this dogwood "flower" as a spring shower was tapering off in intensity. What appears to be the "petals" of a dogwood blossom are actually leaves, which do not have enough chlorophyl to appear green. That's why you can find commonly find them with four, five or six white "petals"... the tiny flowers are actually in the buds in the center.
