Dogwoods are widely planted horticulturally, and the dense wood of the larger-stemmed species is valued for certain specialized purposes. Cutting boards and other fine turnings can be made from this fine grained and beautiful wood. Over 32 different varieties of game birds, including quail, feed on the red seeds.

I snapped this picture of the dogwood blooms just off our deck by the kitchen window. You can duplicate this dramatic technique shot yourself. Pick a subject in bright sunshine and manually reduce the exposure on your camera by a bit. This causes the background to darken and make the subject starkly stand out.
