| The state flower of Virginia, this white flowering dogwood should reach a height
of 15 ft. and a width of 15-20 ft. It blooms in the spring, and usually
remains showy for 2-3 weeks. The inflorescence consists of four showy petal-like
bracts surrounding a cluster of tiny inconspicuous yellowish flowers. The bracts
are 1-2 in long and obovate in shape, usually with a cleft at the
tip. Clusters of bright red football shaped fruits, about a half inch long,
follow the flowers.
