Kousa Dogwoods

The Kousa dogwoods are spectacular this year. This picture was taken about a week ago. They seem to bloom like this one year with a less exuberant show the following year. Guess they need a year of recovery. The blooms will turn into prickly berries that turn red by autumn. The birds just love these. And occasionally the squirrels will discover the tasty treats and gorge on them fighting away the birds.
