Pacific Dogwood

I photographed this Pacific Dogwood blossom, Comus nuttallii, near Happy Isles. The dogwood are early in Yosemite this year, and I enjoyed their white against green sheen. Getting really close, as in this photo, the inner pink of the core of the blossom is also apparent. I understand that this core, or dogwood nut, is edible, although not very tasty.
