Cornus nuttallii and Cornus florida (western or Pacific dogwood and the eastern or Florida dogwood)
The western and eastern dogwood trees are native to North America but they are grown in temperate gardens all over the world. Look in anyone's back garden and you'll see globalization in action - the United Nations of horticulture. I have flowers from six continents in my small corner of Planet Earth. Everybody seems to get along. The petty squabbles of human politics are left behind at the garden gate.
As you can see from the first photo, dogwood blooms are actually like a community of small flowers. For example, this pink eastern dogwood typically has 20 little flowers clustered in the middle. If you look closely. each tiny flower has it's own equally tiny petals. By surrounding this 'village' with larger petal-like bracts, the dogwood saves energy, maximizing it's reproductive potential with minimum effort.
Incidentally, the Pacific dogwood is the official provincial flower of British Columbia and the eastern dogwood is the state flower of Virginia, Missouri and North Carolina.

Syringa vulgaris (common lilac)
As I've said before, It's too bad that tumblr doesn't support Smell-O-Vision because the perfume of this lilac growing in the front garden is divine. Unfortunately, this is the last year that I will be able to enjoy it. The neighborhood is changing. The 'monster house' under construction next door has forced my hand. It will have six windows that will look into my, once, very private back garden. Yesterday, I put my house up for sale. I'll miss the garden the most.
