Legend of the dogwood is that it was a strong and tall tree, until it was chosen as the wood to be used to make the cross Jesus was crucified on. It felt great sorrow for the role it played in His death, so God transformed it so it could never again be used in crucifixion. It became a small tree with twisted branches, and after Jesus' resurrection the trees bloomed cross shaped flowers, with a red tinge on the tips to represent the four nail holes, and a green cluster in the center to symbolize Jesus' crown of thorns.
