Two varieties of dogwood brighten the edge of the wild wild woods. Cornus alba 'Ivory Halo' displays dark rich red twigs in the winter. Cornus sericea 'Cardinal' glows with bright crimson bark, quite brilliant in the sunlight against the snow. They both provide a fine tangle for the red feathered birds (Cardinals, House Finches, Redpolls) to hide in plain sight.
