In addition to the flowering white dogwood (Cornus Florida) photos I posted recently, I have taken photos of some other types of flowering dogwood.

The first type of dogwoods I photographed in addition to the white dogwoods are some wonderful pink dogwoods. Pink Dogwood (Cornus Florida Rubra) is also native to North America – it grows in many of the same areas as Cornus Florida.

Japanese Dogwoods (Cornus Kousa) are native to Asia. They tend to be shorter than most dogwoods native to the US and bloom about a month later. I love the way the blossoms overlap on the Japanese dogwoods – it makes for a spectacular look when the trees are in full bloom.

I photographed this wonderful Japanese Dogwood at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

I haven’t been able to identify what variety the final dogwood I photographed is. It was photographed earlier this month at the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville, North Carolina. By any chance – does anyone recognize this type of dogwood? If you do – can you let me know what it is? Thanks
