Stars in the Wind
Defence
Floradora went outside one morning to discover that the municipal workers had installed a little fence around each of our two Cornus Starlight dogwood trees – thanks, Oak Bay! It should forestall the deer from eating the bark, and also from rubbing their antlers on it in the fall…

Nipped!
…but unfortunately it won’t prevent them from nipping off any flowers in reach! Grrr.

Fallen star
We wanted to take a photo of the wee tiny flowers, which are starting to emerge, but it was a very windy day…so windy that a few unformed stars blew right off the tree.

Floating stars
Floradora rescued a star and put it into a floating bouquet along with some Heartsease, and some Blue Star Creepers!

Hi Floradora, Your little floating bouquet is such a great way to honor the fallen dogwood blossom.
It has been a pretty bouquet – we are kind of glad this one blew off – we wouldn’t have wanted to pick one!
oh dear! those darn deer just keep eating.
They do! and there are so many of them!
