Cornus mas_Spring 2026
Nice few hours walking at Protected Landscape Area Czech Karst near village Svatý Jan pod Skalou. We go there throughout the year many times. Early spring visits have a special charm. Nice sunny day with brisk early morning start flavors the day with a special charm. It enhances colours of blossoming cornuses that are quite abundant there accompanied with Pasque flowers ( Pulsatilla pratensis ), Spring cinquefoil ( Potentill verna ) and many other less noticeable alpines that favour south facing sunny slopes. Cornus mas Potentilla verna Pulsatilla pratensis How about having a cornus as a bonsai. Maros Belan has a GREAT one called Vesna (Spring )... This one is from my collection in a form of informal tree. A form that is not very typical for this species that has more bushy growth.
