Flowering Dogwood Cornus florida |
Springtime in Indiana is punctuated by flowering dogwoods and redbuds. Not only is it spectacular, it has many medicinal uses. According to the Native American Ethnobotany database, a bark infusion was used for many purposes, including headaches, fevers, worms, poison antidote, childhood diseases, diarrhea, and many others.
Flowering trees in the woods are a delightful spring sensation |
