Our thanks to Wendy Burt for sharing her knowledge. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Usually, everything else takes second place in the dogwood season, but in this photo, the gorgeous Saturday, April 11, 2015 Green County Sky and the beautiful green of the Eastern Red Cedar trump even dogwood.
