5-14-08 SHORT HILLS: We have had two more sunny days with rain tomorrow. Yesterday I planted another flowering pear behind the pool in a packasandra bed. The packasandra that I dug up to make room for the pear was moved to the area south of the pool that I have been slowly filling with packasandra. How’s that for exciting. That last pear tree makes ten plantings this spring plus innumerable transplanted volunteers.
New blooms: red-twig dogwood—one of those new plantings.
Red-twig Dogwood. Notice the leaves are just like the dogwood tree leaves and the tiny flowers have four petals like the tree does. Compare with the five petalled viburnums flowers in the previous post. Both shrubs have simple leaves with a prominent central vein and both have opposite leaves.
