Alka I like Uncle google.....
The flower petals really BRACTS are 4, and shape is different. look at the distal end of the petals, its rounded and even has a vague notch or what is reminiscent of a notch as in c. florida flower bracts/petals ANd the real flowers look different to me, I was not able to enlarge them well enough to describe them officially. Another dogwood c. capitata has similar bract shape as c. florida, finally if you had gone back in end of summer or fall the red fruits would have been red, in either ... but different looking.but its leaves to me are different. though you don't yet have many leaves. But to me, you have two different types of flowers.... your major group is Mountain Dogwood. sorry, that's as far as I can go today Unless you can find the whole tree picture of these flowers and we can point out that they arose from the same tree trunk, then we can make a theory that perhaps the bracts are variable in numbers and shape in this particular mountain dogwood.
