Thanks for looking, Paul. The Dogwood is the State Memorial Tree of New Jersey. You guys up in Michigan need to learn how to flatter them. They seem to grow well here, especially on the edge of a woods. All of my 5 white dogwoods are on the edge of wooded area. That makes them grow somewhat

Sorry for your pain Ann, but glad to hear that otherwise you are quite healthy. That is a great image; I remember seeing it previously, perhaps in your calendar or online. It's wonderful that the image was incorporated into a cinema. Does that bring back the feeling of your days as an ingenue ?
