Various species of "Cornus," particularly the flowering dogwood "(Cornus florida)," are ubiquitous in American gardens and landscaping; horticulturist Donald Wyman stated, "There is a dogwood for almost every part of the U.S. except the hottest and driest areas". In contrast, in England the lack of sharp winters and hot summers makes "Cornus florida" very shy of flowering.
