Dogwood Blooms
The dogwoods are blooming in North Carolina!
The dogwood bloom is North Carolina’s state flower. Our NC lawmakers made it the state flower in 1941. There are five dogwood festivals every year in April. Statesville started theirs by crowning the Dogwood Queen in 1969.
There is also The Legend of the Dogwood.
“Each delicate white or pink blossom of the dogwood has the form of a cross – two long and two short petals. Look closely at a dogwood flower and you will see on the center of the outer edge of each petal there are small holes remindful of nail prints, and the tips of the petals are rusty on one side and brown-red on the other. It is not hard to imagine they represent the spikes that pierced the Hands and Feet of Our Lord on the Cross. And in the center of the flower there is a green cluster that recalls the crown of thorns.”
