Another question; this time a tree

My daughter sent me this pic and asked if I know what this tree is, I'm not sure. Anyone know? She lives in Virginia, if that helps. Thanks.

Not sure but it looks like a Red Dogwood tree.

Could it be a Dogwood?

Definitely a red or dark pink dogwood.

My neighbor has one of these red dogwoods in her yard. We are in Virginia too!

@Lorik62, @Perkup, @gracie2014, @Silver Fox1

Thank you all. That is what I thought it was, but wasn't sure.

This is an American dogwood as opposed to a Kousa dogwood.

American dogwoods get flowers first then leaves. Kousas are the opposite -- leaves first then flowers.

But looking at the bracts -- there should be 4 on a dogwood not the possible 5-6 as seen in your photo. I'm pretty sure it's a dogwood, can you get a photo straight on of the flower?

Thanks @JustJazzmom, I'll ask her is she can get a straight on photo.

@Zhills, I've not been on the boards for a few days, so just saw your post this morning. Sent your pic to my daughter, she says this is her tree. Thank you, it's nice to know exactly what it is. Thanks again.
