Trees

Autumn’s Star:

In the woods where kousas grow,
Their flowers put on a show.
With berries bright and leaves that blaze,
They mark the change of days.
Through spring's bloom and autumn's glow,
Kousas in beauty grow.
In every branch, a story's told,
Of nature's wonders, pure and bold.
Kousas in their endless grace,
A testament to nature's place.

Trees

Blossom’s Star:

Among the trees where kousas bloom,
Their petals chase away the gloom.
With every fall, a touch of light,
A beacon in the evening's sight.
In their bloom, peace is found,
A touch of life on sacred ground.
Kousas in their silent might,
A symbol of the earth's delight.

Trees

Nature’s Grace:

In the breeze where kousas sway,
Their blossoms greet the break of day.
With every leaf, a tale they spin,
Of nature's love and life within.
In their blooms, hope is sown,
A testament to the unknown.
Kousas in their graceful way,
Bring light to each spring day.

Trees

Kousa Capers:

Kousa dogwood with blooms so bright,
You turn the garden to light.
With petals white and berries red,
You make the bed.
But oh, the care you need to grow,
Can be a show.
Yet in your shade, we find a peace,
A calm that will not cease.
Kousa Keeps:
Kousa dogwood, with blooms so fair,
You scent the summer air.
In gardens wide and parks so grand,
You spread your cheer worldwide.
Though your growth can be so slow,
Your charm is never low.
And in your blooms, we find delight,
A tree that's pure and bright.
So here's to you, dear kousa tree,
The star of every spree.

Dogwood's Gift

In springtime's light where blossoms burst,
The kousa dogwood quenches thirst.
With flowers white and berries red,
It graces gardens where it's spread.
The kousa dogwood, a gift so fair,
Adds charm and grace to the air.
In every bloom, a story's told,
Of life renewed, of times so bold.
Through spring's first blush and summer's cheer,
The dogwood's beauty is ever near.
A testament to seasons' blend,
The kousa dogwood's blooms extend.
