What’s In Bloom Today
Cornus officinalis ‘Kintoki’, Japanese Cornel Dogwood is in full bloom today. Closely related and quite similar to Cornus mas, the common Cornelian Cherry. Japanese Cornel Dogwood Blooms earlier with a superior flowering effect, the backside of the leaves has a rusty brown pubescence in the axils of the veins. The cultivar Kintoki has leaves with a glossy waxy like surface appearing like someone has varnished them.
