Скачать или смотреть Dwarf Dogwood / Bunchberry Flowers (Cornus canadensis)

Canadian Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), also known as bunchberry dogwood, creeping dogwood, dwarf dogwood, Canadian dwarf cornel, quatre-temps, or crackerberry. It is native to eastern Asia, much of Canada, the United States, and Greenland. The berries are edible and have a flavour resembling apples. Often, they are not eaten due to the hard seed inside. The Lil'wet'ul and Coastal First Nations ate the berries raw or cooked.

The four white bracts are often mistaken as the flower, but it is the cluster in the middle that are the true flowers. The name bunchberry comes from how the berries are bunched together in a cluster.
