Dwarf Bunchberry (Cornus Canadensis)

This is one member of the dogwood family that I must admire from afar.  I discovered while cleaning these little guys in the greenhouse that I am allergic to it.  I broke out in hives and the greenhouse owner promptly ran out and bought some Benadryl for me!  How nice of him.  Now I just photograph it!
The above photo was taken early summer.  The following two photos were taken this August.

That's not good to be allergic-oh goodness! Hope you are well now!

I didn't know what those were. I always carry an antihistamine with me as I never know when I might need it or somebody else...sorry about your hives...

Thank you Tina and Michelle. The antihistamine worked great but I was so sleepy for the remainder of the afternoon! Now I keep some in my purse too!

Fascinating - I never heard of this before. What a pity you have that allergy - good you have the antihistamine to help!
