Dogwood-tree!
The-legend is that the Dogwood-tree grew tall and hardy in
the Holy Land at the time of-Christ. When they crucified Him,
the story-goes that they used the Dogwood-tree for His-cross!
Because His-agony resulted on the Dogwood tree, it became
both cursed and blessed, it became diminutive of-stature as
a-"curse" but "blessed" to remind His-people of the-suffering.
Our pink-Dogwood is blooming. The flowers are pink in-color;
each flower has a "red" center-spot on each of its four petals.
These symbolize the Precious-Blood of-Jesus from the nails
in His-hands and feet and the crown-of-thorns on His-head.
The center of the bloom resembles a-"crown"! Interesting!
We had a white-Dogwood, but, it died a few-years ago; they
make a spectacular-display when they intertwine-branches!
I might plant another white-one---Just...because...they're Beautiful!
Amen!
