Dogwood (Cornus canadensis) with leaves growing out of flower
June 23, 2004
Perhaps there is a relatively common mutation that causes leaves to grow out of the flower. I have not seen it happen a lot, but I have seen it in a couple of different places.
Location: Starrigavan Ridge
Previous: Northern goldenrod (Solidago multiradiata)
Next: Sweet Coltsfoot (Petasites frigidus) flowers
