Dear Mark,
Thanks so much for sharing this photo! For me it's really special because
I LOVE hearts. I find it absolutely delightful to come across one in
nature like this.
I can't explain why heart shapes occasionally appear in the natural world,
but I can explain the white coloring--it's a lack of chlorophyll (in case
you're interested).
Merry Christmas, indeed!
Gratefully,
Marlene

This is a photo of an unusual white Dogwood " leaf " in the shape of a
heart! The botanist can have fun with this photo & explain it away?- but
I
feel it's much more than that!!
Merry Christmas!
