Three Season Dogwood!!
I was skimming some of the leaves off the koi pond this morning when I noticed that the dogwood that grows over the pond was exhibiting some strange behavior. Like most of the trees at this time the majority of the tree is leafless. Winter has unofficially begun and as I write this snow has begun to fall. One of the branches overhanging the pond waterfall has yellow leaves and the rest green. Not only that but the lowest branch is blooming as it would in spring! The koi pond must be retaining enough heat to confuse the lower branches of the tree that we are in a warmer season. It's not a great photo, but I thought it interesting enough to merit documentation.
