I know the Dogwood blossom is a state flower, I was simply pointing out the Dogwood tree is Missouri's state tree. Just like the Hawthorn blossom is our state flower but it's also a tree and probably someone's state tree somewhereOriginally Posted by rapunzel47
True, the Dogwood is a tree, but it is designated as the Provincial Flower:
I don't expect it would take much talking for the landlord to agree to it -- that's not the issue. The issue is we won't likely live here forever, unless at some point we were in a position to buy the property, so we don't plant anything that we'd be sad to leave behind. Well, one exception to that, I guess: we did plant a yellow rose for my Dad while he was living with us, and I'd be sorry to leave that, but it would be a lot easier to take it than a tree would.
As far as planting, I meant that I wonder if your landlord would himself be willing to plant some dogwoods, not necessarily you. But I do understand why you don't. Sorry I didn't explain myself well
