Where it narrows and plummets through a steep gorge at Valley Falls State Park, the Tygart Valley River has broken the Connoquenessing sandstone through which it passes into massive, jumbled slabs. In the margins of these wrecked pillars, where sediment and fine sand wash out, a great diversity of life has sprung up. The river is both destroyer and creator, more powerful and relentless than any god man has dreamed up.

From top: royal fern (Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis), a water-loving beauty that clumps in the nooks between the boulders; the elegant tassel rue (Trauvetteria carolinensis), with its sharply-lobed, palmate leaves; yellow star grass (Hypoxis hirsuta), whose six-petaled flowers and delicate, grass-like leaves are quite attractive; American water willow (Justicia americana), whose creeping rhizomes allow the plant to form extensive colonies at the edges of streams and rivers; silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), a thicket-forming wetlands lover; and ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), easily identified by its brown stem.

In Branson, ride, ride, ride!

I got to ride, ride, ride in Branson, I’m a lucky girl. I recently returned from a trip to Branson, I went with Sara Broers, of Travel with Sara. She was on a press trip, and I got to tag along, and we stayed at the amazing Chateau on the Lake Resort Spa! While there I learned all about riding in Branson, riding on a tram, a shuttle, a coaster, a Pink Jeep, a people mover, a paddle boat, and a 3D…

American dogwood (poetry)

Spring blooms following cherry blossoms

American dogwood.

Autumn leaves are a sight to behold.

Ripe and fall

The rugby ball-shaped red fruit is beautiful.

Its crimson fruit,

I don't know if it's edible.

But I also want to try it.

アメリカハナミズキ（詩）

サクラに続いて春咲く

アメリカハナミズキ。

秋には紅葉が見ものであるが

熟して落ちる

ラグビーボール状の紅い実が美しい。

その深紅の実、

食べられるかどうかは解らない。

でも食べてみたくもある。

Note: Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, where I live, is a sister city of Burbank City in the United States. She was given an American dogwood as a token of her friendship.

Hot And Dry Wildflower Walk, 6-4-23

Leucanthemum vulgare (Oxeye Daisy) on 6-4-23, #943-60. Hello, everyone! I hope this post finds you well. I decided to go for a wildflower walk on Sunday afternoon even though it was bright and sunny and the temperature was already almost 90° F. There was a nice breeze, so it wasn’t so bad. We haven’t had much rain and it seems many of the wildflowers I usually see are non-existent. Only the…

SHOPPE THE LOOK - AMERICAN CLASSIC ❤ № 1

Hello, this is going to be a series of SHOPPE posts from Dogwood Drive - please be patient while I work on these, they take quite a while to compile, and I'm still being inundated with WCIF messages despite the inbox being closed. You'll notice that I use a lot of the same creators, so there is a very good chance that what you're asking for is right there on their pages if you take the time to browse!

American Classic is an elegant and sophisticated interior design style that emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. It reflects America’s rich cultural heritage, blending elements of European classicism with American practicality and comfort. This versatile style adapts well to various settings, from elegant urban mansions and spacious farmhouses to coastal homes and suburban residences. [X]

Magic Dogwood Flower

"Magic Dogwood" - Cornus florida subspecies urbiniana - is a rare Mexican version of the common American Dogwood tree. Looking like exotic Chinese lanterns, these incredible blooms dazzle the eye by the hundreds each spring. Like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. The plant is highly rare in cultivation, and genuine seeds & plants are rarely seen for sale.
