Rounded is definitely dogwood, especially with an early spring flowering.
Haven’t ever seen the star-pointed flowers above, but they do seem dogwood-like.

Yep! Thanks!
It does seem like the Kousa blooms earlier than it used to…

The climbening begins ↓
These nasturtiums are supposed to climb, too ↓
How quickly we grow weary ↓
These peonies have a cage thing around them, but they grew much taller than usual this year. At the last minute before blooming, the stems between the top leaves and the blossoms just shot up. I wonder if the cage has collapsed a bit, I should check.

Very nice arrangements!
I’m waiting on some nasturtium seeds that are backordered when it said they were in stock 
I really enjoy nasturtium - especially harvesting the leaves and flowers to spice up salads. Unfortunately they’re almost always sold as ornamentals so I never really know what the flavor profile is going to be like year to year (I think the Alaska blend is usually nice and spicy)

Oh, I knew that you can eat nasturtium flowers, but I didn’t realize that people ate the leaves too!
I’m not sure what type mine are (beyond being the cheap brand of seeds from Target), but it does say on the packet “Edible flowers!” so I have hopes 
Hope you get your seeds soon!

Yep! Whole plant is edible. The variegated types look really unusual in a salad. The ones I like most are a little tart but have a mild spiciness that’s unlike spice pepper or hot peppers.
Yours look great - hope you have a good batch!
