Or Cornus canadensis to closer friends. The white parts (pedals to those not in the know) are actually bracts modified leaves. The flowers are the tiny green things in the very center that I didn't get close enough to see. Thank you for nice pictures. I went though Comox Valley for a couple of years ago with my wife. We really liked the area. We are planning to move to west, Comox valley is one of my favorite places in B.C. Hiroshi Hiroshi Unno Tuesday, February 13th, 2007 at 16:04:51
