Gardening Gone Wild just concluded its native plant photo contest. They have some great photos of native plants and plant combinations.
.
I didn't get around to posting this photo during the contest, but it is one of my favorite photographs of a native flowering tree. This Cornelian cherry dogwood (Cornaceae Cornus mas) was on my property before I was and it blooms in late March/early April here in zone 6b.
