November: Dogwood
Meadow
Cornus sanguinea
Order: Cornales
Family: Cornaceae
Genus: Cornus
habitat: sunny hedgerows, scrubs
distribution: common in Wales and England
In November, leaves of most of deciduous trees turns yellow and red, and are falling on the ground. We see red patches in hedgerows. This is dogwood, native to the UK, of which leaves are still on the stems and small navy blue (almost black) berries still not pecked by birds.
It blooms in early summer, and its white flowers are tiny and make a lot of clusters on the bush, a little bit similar to elder flower.
After all the leaves and berries are gone, the crimson red new twigs comes out. The striking colour brightens up the bare grey winter field.
There was frost this morning after the Guy Fawkes Night; the temperature dropped almost 0 Celsius. All of sudden, the winter came very close.
