[ANSTHRLD] Conflict check, please

[kevinkeary at aol.com]

The closest to a conflict I found was:

Clarice deLay of Rowanholt (badge)
Vert, a cross argent between in chief two fleurs-de-lys Or, overall in 
base a swan naiant to sinister, all within a bordure argent.

I THINK it's clear, because I THINK the swan, as an overall charge, is 
not part of 'the secondary group', making a second CD.

As for the dogwood blossoms, they have been registered sixteen times by 
the college, the latest as of this spring in the precedent cited by 
Emma, and NONE of them specify a particular species, they are all just 
'dogwood blossom(s)' or 'dogwood flower(s)'. A seventeents says 
'dogwood branch' which I assume is distinguished by the blossoms, since 
there isn't much else but leaves to do it with.

So, current precedent is that 'dogwood blossom' is in and of itself a 
registerable charge, conflicts with other quatrefoils, and does not 
conflict with roses.

I didn't consider conflicts
, because if it's not registerable, there's 
no point in conflict-checking it, and it's usually a heck of a lot 
faster to just "boing" it. 
 
However, as I mentioned in e-mail just now, I was misremembering a 
precedent: I believe they just have to be blazoned more specifically 
as "flowering dogwood blossoms" (that is, the blossoms of a plant 
called the Flowering Dogwood).
