The dogwood native to Virginia. Both the state tree and state flowers of the Commonwealth of Virginia

Golden Brodie retrieves for you the Virginia State Flower and Tree

Published on by goldenbrodie

I’m a content and people pleasing golden…I try anyway…and today I am bringing you a present…a virtual flower and tree that are near and dear to my Virginia born heart…the Dogwood.  The Dogwood is not only a treasured beauty but also the State tree and State flower for the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Some say that at one time the Dogwood bark was also used as a mange treatment for dogs.  A tree that keeps giving golden!

Golden Retriever Brodie shares an illuminating story about loyalty to The White House.

The treat is all mine to enjoy the flowers of the Dogwood in the spring and then their colorful foliage change in the fall.   Love me some Dogwood.

  1. This caught my attention because the Dogwood is also the floral emblem of British Columbia, where I’m originally from! So surprising to learn that they’re the official flower/tree elsewhere also. They are such beautiful trees when in full bloom.
