Swamp Dogwood

Swamp Dogwood flower Jean noticed this flowering tree, which neither of us were familiar with. Phil Buskirk suggested it might be Dogwood, and in fact it seems to be a Swamp Dogwood, Cornus foemina.    It's quite different from Flowering Dogwood, Cornus Florida, that one sees used for landscaping.   This specimen  is west of the worship in nature area, maybe 45 feet back of the bench.
