American Dogwood – September 2010 Photo of the Month

American Dogwood - Cornus FloridaAmerican Dogwood

Dogwoods are one of my favorite spring flowers. This past spring, I photographed several different types of dogwoods in hopes of finally having a photograph of white dogwood blossoms to share with you. With this pair of blossoms, I was able to take the photograph I’ve been wanting to create – the simple white blossoms, the green and yellow centers against a dark background of the woods. I hope you enjoy this photograph of the dogwood blossoms as much as I do.

Cloud 9 Dogwoods – June 2010 Photo of the Month

Every spring I love seeing the dogwoods blossom. Their beautiful white blossoms add a beautiful splash of white and yellow among the browns and pale greens of the woods. This spring, I finally found a wonderful set of Cloud 9 Dogwoods (Cornus Florida Cloud 9) blooming in the woods to photograph. I knew when I saw this branch that I would offer it as a panoramic photograph.

I photographed these dogwoods at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. Like most dogwoods, Cloud 9 Dogwoods grow best in partial shade. If they are planted in full sun, make sure they get plenty of water. Dogwoods make a wonderful addition to a landscape plan since they offer year-round color. In the spring they have beautiful blossoms, in summer green leaves, in fall the leaves turn red to purple, and in the winter red berries.

A Few More Dogwoods

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

I’ve just added a new photo – Cloud 9 Dogwood – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.

I’ve been trying for a couple of years to capture  just the right image of dogwood blossoms in the woods. I love the way the white dogwood blossoms add a spectacular splash of color amongst the browns and greens of the woods. This spring, I photographed dogwoods in several locations – but it wasn’t until I found this branch of Cloud Nine Dogwood blossoms at Brookside Gardens was I able to create the panoramic photograph I’d been picturing in my mind. I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do.

This photograph is available as either an 8 X 18″ or a 14 X 30″   gallery-wrapped canvas.  You can order  Cloud 9 Dogwood from my website and I will have it available at shows this year.
