This flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) isn't actually in the Horticulture Gardens, but it's close by. Find it on a short walk from the Horticulture Building. Walk west down the Horticulture Mall past the new food science building and across the street to the Ag & Bio Engineering Building. This tree is at the northeast entrance to the building.
Technically the flowers are at the center of the four white bracts.
Even better than this is to take a walk in the woods where dogwoods and redbuds are blooming here and there, wouldn't be spring in the woods without them.
