“Wildflower Nature Journey 03.24”- Episode 3
Cornus mas, is a species of shrub or small tree in the dogwood family Cornaceae. Native to Western Europe, Southern Europe, and Southwestern Asia.
Flowers are small (5–10 mm in diameter). With four yellow petals, produced in clusters of 10–25 together in the late winter (between end of February and March).
Also grown as an ornamental plant for its late winter yellow flowers. Which open earlier than those of Forsythia. While Cornus mas flowers are not as large and vibrant as those of the Forsythia. Plant can be used for a similar effect in the landscape.
This shrub is quite common in Lombardy. It is a very rustic species. It grows along the banks of streams, on the edges of broad-leaved woods, in mixed shrubbery and manages to spread easily thanks to its high capacity to emit root shoots. Its rustic and robust temper means that it adapts to all climates. From harsh, purely winter ones, to dry and sultry ones.
The plant in full bloom is truly spectacular to behold. Small or large, the bloom is a yellow spot that is easily recognized.
Cornelian cherry, it’s one of the flowers that I have photographed most in recent years. Probably the first flower with which I practiced the first macro floral photographs. Let’s say it was my training ground for macro photography.
