The cornelian cherry dogwood provides a burst of yellow sunshine through the fog and rain. It’s a sure sign that spring is on its way! Our friends at Missouri Botanical Garden say the genus in the botanical name, Cornus mas, means horn and likely comes from the Latin cornu meaning horn, in reference to the strong, dense wood. . . . . . #RVAblooms #RVAgardentrail #dogwood #spring #yellow #publicgarden #cornusmas #latin #plants #wood #trees #plantlove #RVA #botanical #plantgeeks #va #cherrydogwood (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CPXVwJu2k/?igshid=1jpcqntuvp6n1

One of the great things about winter is that since there aren’t many blooms, the ones you do see are that much more precious. I spotted this winter daphne from the next path over and had to circle back to check it out. When I leaned in to take this image I was overwhelmed with the sweet magnolia-like sent of the blooms. The fragrance is divine! . . . . . #RVA #Rvagardentral #winter #RVAblooms #plantlove #winterdaphne #daphne #Daphneodora #fragrance #pink #white #blooms #flowerstagram #gardens #wintergardens #va #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wKUYfJKTY/?igshid=khysur9whdl8
