Della dogwood blooms

I thought there was a song about poppies. If you are feeling romantic, check out: http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/w/whenthepoppiesbloomagain.shtml.

But the big news is that the Della dogwood, named in honor of Dorcas's mother, planted after her passing, is in flower for the first time. My links not working, so here's a song about dogwoods: http://freelyricshut.com/tag/dogwood-bloom.

dogwood leaves

From my office window I see the Della Dogwood, the tree planted in memory of Grandma Miller. We've got blue skies this morning and beautiful leaves.

mulch to dogwood

The dogwood stands in far right shade, hardly visible. But the pic shows at least how the bed is extended from the outhouse door to the Della dogwood.

What is it with mulch?
