I am so glad our neighbors on Five Forks Drive planted Korean dogwood in their yard.  It is blooming now, and is magnificent!

 

As you are driving into the neighborhood, once you pass the first village of houses, you make the big curve to the left.  First house on the left has several Korean dogwoods planted there.  They are mature and blooming right now.  

Korean dogwood, Cornus kousa, looks quite different from the Flowering dogwood, Cornus florida.   Kousa's bracts are pointed, and florida's bracts are rounded.  Another striking difference is the kousa blooms after the leaves emerge in spring, florida blooms before the leaves are out.  I love them both.
