That is dogwood, formerly very common in Virginia and the Carolinas. It blooms like this in mid April. It is being threatened by a fungal disease. Enjoy it while we have it.

Thanks, Carolyn! I found out it's a Japanese Dogwood; a Cornus Kousa. Thanks, Kenner! ;-)

Will the fungal disease go extinct for lack of a breeding ground when it has made the dogwood gone extinct? In that case I'd say let it happen, wait a few years, then repopulate from the seed banks.

And...for the local botanists (or anyone else who may be interested) yet another dogwood. http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.php?photoID=2766005&catID=&style=&rowNumber=23&memberID=109629 ;>)Mark.

I was going to say Dogwood but I couldn't see the photo. It was going to be a lucky guess.

Here in the East, their vibrant blooms follow shortly behind the cherry blossoms and signify the official confirmation of spring. Absent the flowers, the dogwood appears as any other tree in the forest.
