Cornus kousa chinensis This shows the characteristic multi-trunk growth habit of the variety. It also re-inforces the fact that blossoms 'ride' the upper sides of each branch. Few blossoms are clearly visible when your are standing close enough to look up at the undersides of the branches. Hidden Lake Gardens, Michigan May 29, 2012 (nex5n)

Cornus kousa 'satomi', Pink Japanese Dogwood The flower bracts on this specimen were barely pink when I saw it. Perhaps they will turn darker with age. Hidden Lake Gardens, Michigan May 29, 2012 (nex5n)
Cornus kousa 'satomi', Pink Japanese Dogwood The ID tag on this specimen was barely visible without stepping into a surrounding flower bed, which I was very reluctant to do. It's readable if you zoom in, or perhaps you'll simply take my word that Ive correctly read the binomial name and the name of the hybrid or cultivar (Satomi). From there, a Google search revealed another common name, viz Pink Japanese Dogwood. Hidden Lake Gardens, Michigan May 29, 2012 (nex5n)
D149-2012 Cornus kousa 'satomi', Pink Japanese Dogwood The flower bracts on this specimen were barely pink when I saw it. Almost all the discernible color was in the edges of the bracts, and at their very tips. Hidden Lake Gardens, Michigan May 29, 2012 (nex5n)
Cornus kousa 'Wolf Eyes' A close-up of a blossom reveals that a few of the small true flowers in the yellow-green center are just beginning to open, with the odd anther having broken free. Hidden Lake Gardens, Michigan May 29, 2012 (nex5n)
