The Dogwood

PXL 20260623 164158271.RAW 02.ORIGINAL copy

Cornus canadensis, commonly known as the Canadian dwarf cornel or Canadian bunchberry, is a charming flowering plant belonging to the dogwood family, Cornaceae. This species is native to the lush landscapes of eastern Asia and North America, where it thrives in various habitats.

Often referred to by other names like quatre-temps and crackerberry, this interesting plant showcases a unique growth habit. As a creeping, rhizomatous perennial, it typically reaches a modest height of about 20 centimeters (8 inches), making it an attractive option for ground cover in gardens. Its delicate flowers bloom in clusters, adding visual interest, while its glossy green leaves provide a striking contrast.

The Canadian bunchberry is not only a beautiful addition to the landscape but also plays a role in local ecosystems.

Dandelion Clocks

One of my favourite memories.
I like to call Dandelion Clocks puffers.
You can see why.
The gratuitous train whistle and evening light are a bonus.

Is this a poem?
