Pacific dogwoods (Cornus nuttallii) bloom in Yosemite Valley in April and May. The actual flowers are in a tight cluster forming almost a dome-like structure in the middle of the "flower," while the showier part of the blossoms are actually bracts that attach under the flower cluster.
This photo is from April 27, 2021. Because this was a dry year, the dogwood bloom seemed to occur earlier than normal.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
