Description

Springtime and the Dogwood are blooming. The official state tree of Virginia and the official state flower of North Carolina. It is considered a symbol of purity, strength and affection. It is intrinsically connected to Christianity and Easter. The legend of the Dogwood teaches that the petals form in the shape of a cross, the center holds a "crown of thorns" and the tips of red represent the "blood spilled on the cross." In the Southern United States the beautiful flowers usually burst open about the same time as Easter.
