I spent a bit of time finding the post, too. But it was fun checking out a new blog, although it looks like she no longer posts to it.<BR/><BR/>I also looked up Kathy's 'Artic Fire'. I found it very interesting. It's a new compact selection of the ever popular Baileyi’ red stem dogwood. Dark red winter twigs and a more compact, non-suckering habit. It gets only 4 feet tall and has more branches, thus more red color.<BR/><BR/> I think I would like some of these.<BR/>Sissy, did you know if you planted the 'Artic Fire'?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to post and find links for me.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1156822238757760682006-08-28T23:30:00.000-04:002006-08-28T23:30:00.000-04:00Wow that really is gorgeous...now we all want some...Wow that really is gorgeous...now we all want some of that dogwood! lol Isn't that just the most amazing plant...really does look like fire!! xoxCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1156814155397855882006-08-28T21:15:00.000-04:002006-08-28T21:15:00.000-04:00Wow-that dogwood is outstanding!

There are yellow and red stemmed varieties.<BR/><BR/>They are grown for their stems and to get the best color, you take them down to right above the ground every spring.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://images.google.com/images?q=red%20twig%20dogwood&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&tab=wi" REL="nofollow">Red twig dogwood</A>, to get you started...<BR/><BR/>I went scrolling forever to find <A HREF="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.julieleung.com/archives/dogwoodfern2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.julieleung.com/archives/2004_12.html&h=225&w=300&sz=17&hl=en&start=11&tbnid=H--5Kc4ljLDnUM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dred%2Btwig%2Bdogwood%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN" REL="nofollow">this entry</A>, but she doesn't have a variety listed.

It was probably taken close to sunset, when the light was almost horizontal.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1156807715814240172006-08-28T19:28:00.000-04:002006-08-28T19:28:00.000-04:00I don't know what those bushes are, but they do lo...I don't know what those bushes are, but they do look like flames!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
