Beautiful dogwood tree Ma. It looks like a giant cotton ball.

Thank you! it was loaded every year & by its shape it was so beautiful, everyone who saw it always gave me compliments BUT it was God's doings & His blessings for me and others! When my daughter, Tami, was in grade school, she brought it & the Lilac Bush as little sticks home for Arbor Day--it was by chance that we planted them in the right place to see its beautiful White Flowery Blooming display--truly a blessing from God not only for me but for all who saw it! The Dogwood grew large but the Lilac Bush next to it took years to grow in size & have a few Lilac blooms of the size shown in the photo! The Dogwood was slowly dying with limbs pruned off after the divorce in March 1988! As soon as I sold the home & the other owners moved in, they took it out & the shrubbery that had also died! Tami will be 53 in Oct so from the time she brought it home & the time I left in FEB 2014 was many years of enjoying its beauty! I miss my old home, the neighborhood & friends (40 years) but life goes on & we do what we must as time never stops for anyone until the time our mortal bodies in death do we depart from this earthly life; hopefully, with Jesus when our number is up! Amen! Ma

Yes, Jeff, it was like that every Springtime for many years--I got to enjoy its beauty while living there after planted when Tami was six or seven! Schools used to give young trees to the younger students for Arbor day--don't know if they still do or not! Was very glad for her bringing home ours! It lasted as long as i lived in the home, as a family we moved into it in May 1974 until I sold it in Feb. 2014! Our neighborhood was a nice area to live in--neighbors & ALL! Thank you for your compliment & comment! Ma

I have one in my front yard about the same size, it's budding up now and getting ready to bloom. It's our state tree here in Virginia.

Yes & a soft carpet of petals underneath the Dogwood when shedding those glorious WHITE Blooms showing the nail scars of Jesus' hands & feet in the four corners of each bloom! Jesus was crucified but HE lived again & lives forever more with all forgiving love that saves & heals each REPENTANT Sinner by their BELIVING FAITH in Him, WHO IS REAL & ready to save lost souls today & today is the day of Salvation for even one minute more may be too late--when the mortal body has no more time to live here & have their living souls saved to be heaven bound & living with Him forever! Amen! Ma
