Colin PurringtonSo here's the expensive, disease-resistant, red-bracted dogwood (Cornus kousa 'Scarlet Fire') I planted this spring. The nursery guy said the leaf chlorosis is due to lack of micronutrients so we'll see whether it snaps back after a few drenches of those. Fingers crossed. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/dogwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogwood</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cornus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cornus</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bracts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bracts</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/disease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disease</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/rutgers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rutgers</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/fertilizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fertilizer</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/leaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#leaves</a>

Colin PurringtonMy neighbor's dogwood after some rain. The red structures are bracts, leaves modified to function as petals for the drab inflorescence within. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/dogwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogwood</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowers</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/petals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#petals</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bracts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bracts</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/rain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rain</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cornus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cornus</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollination</a>
