This Kousa dogwood (Cornus kousa) is just outside the front door of the greenhouse. In the springtime Cornus kousa has showy white bracts around the flowers that look much like the native flowering dogwood common in our woodlands. The fruit is said to be edible but it doesn't appeal to my taste. Maybe yours. Picture taken September 10, 2009.

The bark of Cornus kousa has a nice look to it. Here is a link to some pictures of the bark on this same tree here in Horticulture Gardens:
