You and Mom are lucky to be living near Madison Park; it's a tree museum. I'm surprised that Kyle doesn't see more dogwoods in the St.. Louis area. It should be ideal habitat for the species. I planted several dogwood seedlings at my old Knox County place and the they flourished. My deceased nursery-man friend Jim was surprised to hear this back in the early nineties. "The winters used to be too severe for dogwoods around here! Something must have changed." Nice photos, Dad! You and Mom are lucky to be living near Madison Park; it’s a tree museum.

Quincy has more dogwoods than St. Louis i think.

The first faint whiff is nice, but after a while it's a cloying olfactory overload - nothing subtle about it. Of course, your mileage may vary. The Peonie buds are swelling, so there is worse to come. I calls ‘em the way I smells ‘em.
