The green is Ogham, the purple is Theban, the verse in the middle is Runic and translates into dodgy latin... which in turn translates into a bit from Kubla Khan =)
It's meant to be apple blossom, but you're right - it looks like dogwood!
Well, according to Grandedame Miranda all you need to do is hold aloft a nutmeg and say, 'By flood and Fleet, Come Jenny Sleet, You Slattern!' to summon (one assumes) a rather slovenly or at least scruffy wintercourt fae named Jenny.
I should have made up my own doggerel, I know, but the whole 'weave a circle round him thrice' bit sounded nicely magical. Besides which no one I've shown it to has known both Runic and Latin, so I think I'm probably safe =)

That's dogwood in the lower left corner, isn't it?

If my Gran had left me a spell for summoning my own personal fae - scruffy or not - I would certainly have tried it.
The spell is from Kubla Khan? Kind of blows out its antiquity, doesn't it? The whole thing is pretty cool, though.
