Fifteen Day Dogwood: Monday

    Fifteen days after Easter: LOOKY LOOKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SHE’S OPENING UP!!!!!!!!!!

    The dogwood we’ve been watching is actually beginning to blossom!
    We have 10 guesses now as to how many days past Easter it will take our dogwood to reach full blossom.

    My Gemini optimistic alter ego said 11 days. (Come and gone.)

    Brad and Heidi both said 17 days — April 9.

    Cheryl said 18 days — April 10.

    My original guess was 21 days — April 13.

    Carolina Girl said 23 days after Easter — April 15.

    Steve G. said 24 days — April 16.

    Melissa said 38 days — April 30.

    Jeff from Linden said 40 days — May 2. (Love the symbolism of “40 days.”)

    Gabe said 51 days past Easter — May 13, his sister, Hayley’s, birthday.

    What’s your guess? We’re guessing the number of days past Easter that our tree will reach FULL BLOSSOM. I estimate that it will take at least a week from the time the tree first begins to noticeably open up to the time she’s considered to be in full blossom.
