Description
This beautiful composition shows a cluster of berries and leaves on a fall-colored Flowering Dogwood Tree (Cornus florida), photographed at Natural Tunnel State Park in Virginia.
It is one of the two most common ornamental species of dogwood tree, the other is Kousa Dogwood. This species is native to the eastern United States and grows well in woodlands as well as landscapes.
Some reports say the berries are poisonous. They are very astringent and bitter and grow in clusters and mature into the fall.

Dogwoods do have gorgeous autumn foliage... miss the 16 I used to have in my front yard in Raleigh, North Carolina!
