The other day, I introduced dogwood on Kibikicho Street as its best time to see it, but dogwood on Matsuya Street is also at its best.
In particular, you can see the map below
, dogwood on the pink part of Matsuya Street.
By the way, even if dogwood is in full bloom, what looks like a petal is not a petal but a total bract, and the center mass is the inflorescence.
As for the actual flowers, inconspicuous flowers with a diameter of about 5 mm of four petals gather and bloom sequentially.
dogwood is a representative flowering tree in the United States and is distributed from Ontario, Canada to Massachusetts, Texas, and northeast Mexico in the United States.
The official Japanese name is American Yamaboshi, but another name dogwood is better known.
In 1912, the city of Tokyo presented Sakura (Yoshino cherry tree) to the United States, and in return, white flower seeds were donated by the United States in 1915.
Two years later, in 1917, red flower seeds were presented.
Every year, Golden Week comes during the flowering season of this flower, so if you look at the flowers of dogwood, you will be happy that the holiday season has come.
