Cornus Florida Rubra Conclusion

Pink Flowering Dogwood

This is a closeup of the center of the inflorescence where the flowers are found.  I noticed a spec on the bud in the lower left.

Later in the session I made another capture.  You might notice the insect on the bud in the lower left.  I currently believe that it came from the above mentioned spec.  It is a thrips.

As the development of the flowers continued, the buds started opening to expose the flower.  I continued photographing the process for several days.  The more I worked, the more I could notice the Thrips moving about on it.  I made the following video so you could see what I saw.  I play it at 12x speed so you won't get bored.
