Seventeen Day Dogwood: Wednesday
-
Seventeen days after Easter: From a distance, she still looks like the dead of winter.
-
But if you look up close at the dogwood we’ve been watching (wearing your rose colored glasses), the beauty of the intense colors might just make you gasp!
-
But plenty of buds are still fully enclosed, even if the baby leaves aren’t.
- We have 11 guesses as to how many days past Easter it will take our dogwood to reach full blossom.
My Gemini optimistic alter ego lost when she said 11 days.
Brad and Heidi both said 17 days — April 9. Sorry Brad and Heidi. She’s not there yet!
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.
Nancy said 25 days — April 17.
Melissa said 38 days — April 30.
Jeff from Linden said 40 days — May 2.
Gabe said 51 days past Easter — May 13.

Thanks to all the readers who guessed the number of days past Easter that our tree will reach FULL BLOSSOM, or, the point at which the majority of the blossom buds on the tree are all open to their fullest point. Please don’t get too bored of dogwood pictures. The best is yet to come!
