May 23, 2009 and Nov. 3, 2009
On May 23, 2009 the leaves had opened on this Cornus racemosa and the floral buds were well formed.
Photo shows fruit on Gray dogwood in late August, there weren't any flowers remaining.
In early November the fruit was also gone, but the stems that had held them were present and bright red.
The picture of the bud was taken in early November. The buds and stems were reddish brown.
By late March, although most of the buds, stems and remaining panicles were grey as shown in this photo, there were some brown-red branches.
