Anne Morrow Lindbergh gives a vivid description of the dogwood tree in her poem "Dogwood". Mountaintop flora include wild azalea and dogwood. Upland pine forests are mixed with turkey oak, sweetgum, flowering dogwood and persimmon. Mountain alder, stream dogwood, willows, and sedges grow along streams. Understory shrubs include flowering dogwood ("Cornus florida") and American holly ("Ilex opaca"). Flowering dogwood is grown widely throughout the temperate world. The common flowering dogwood has been placed on the endangered species list in Ontario. Small trees such as holly and dogwood are understory specialists. The similar Kousa dogwood ("Cornus kousa"), native to Asia, flowers about a month later. In springtime Lewiston hosts the Dogwood Festival. Another, earlier name of the dogwood in English is the whipple-tree. Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Neil Smith was formerly part of the folk band Dogwood and Dahlia. The area is become covered by gray dogwood and other pioneer woody plants. Pale Dogwood is a beige-tinted shade of pink.
