Dogwood that blooms in Fall

[Otto Froehlich]

Hello netters,
we have flowering dogwood tree here on Emory campus that has one branch with
a strange habit:  when all other leaves are about to fall, it blooms and
grows new leaves.  It has been doing this for at least three years, and I
suspect it will do this again soon.
Anybody interested in it (botanists, molecular biologists, tree
psychiatrists, etc.)?
