... the Pacific Dogwood became B.C.'s provincial flower.
I was in Grade 2 and actually remember the teacher announcing this.
It must have been one of those rare moments when I was paying attention.

The tree looks lonely but it's a beaut. It's strange how one can remember something from 50 years ago but can't remember what we had for dinner yesterday.

Beautiful dogwood. This is my favorite flowering tree. This spring in Kansas City was so warm the dogwoods bloomed and were gone in the blink of an eye.
