    This one has me stumped. It has resisted my attempts to identify it with my older books.
    We came upon this while clenaing out and overgrown row of dogwoods here in Delaware. It appears to love the shade as it is quite healthy, the flowers are star shaped and bright white. It is a very fragrant tree and is in full bloom. The flowers stick out of a pinkish pod(?) and have long stamens. It is an attractive tree, currently 10 to 15 feet tall. Sorry for the quality of pictures but i'm still learning the camera.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Red Eft
