_{bract´ed
Adj.
Having bracts:
a. A modified leaf growing just below a flower or flower stalk.
b. A modified leaf or leaflike part just below and protecting an inflorescence.}




Bracts are generally small and inconspicuous, but some are showy and petallike, as the brightly colored bracts of bougainvillaea or the white or pink bracts of flowering dogwoods. And this is White Flowering Dogwood, reworked for Out-Of-Frame effect again, so the title seems suitable.

I am waiting for Spring.
