Silky Dogwood
The fruits are bluish in color.
The fruit is eaten by game birds, especially important as a source of food for migrating songbirds.
The Silky Dogwood, Cornus amomum, has attractive white, greenish-white or yellow flower clusters in the spring and blue and white fruit in the fall.
It is used for hedgerows, windbreaks and for stream bank erosion control.
The twigs are an important source of winter browse for deer and rabbits.
This plant tolerates poorly drained soils.

Praying Mantises live throughout most of the US and Canada. The "patient predators" will eat flies, leafhoppers, caterpillars, and aphids. These garden friendly insect predators sometimes will munch on the other good guys - like bees and wasps.
