Photographed along the Harding Icefields trail in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

Photographed along the Baker Lake trail in western Washington, these are the flowers of Bunchberry, a common plant in the Pacific Northwest and a relative, only a few inches tall of the flowering dogwood trees that are often grown as ornamentals. It has red berries later in the year that are edible.

These are the flowers, bracts and leaves of Bunchberry, Cornus canadensis, a plant closely related to Dogwood.

Bunchberry is a relative of the flowering dogwood trees many of us are acquainted with but is a plant only a few inches tall, the smallest in that family.

Bunchberry, Cornus canadensis, is a dwarf Dogwood and very common in our area. The white dogwood-like flowers are followed in late summer with these red berries. The plant is only 4-8 inches tall and this example was photographed along the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-berg-la...
