The Redbud is in Bloom !

We're having a great busy time with our daughter and her family, but I had to share the spectacular Redbud in our front garden.  I'm always amazed at how the brilliant pink blossoms of this small tree emerge directly from the branches.  A common understory tree of the Smokies in Tennessee, when planted separately here it is truly spectacular.





Full credit to Mrs. F.G. who took three of these pictures; she can get closer than I can!

  2. Oh yes, those redbuds are so pretty. On the way down to LaVale they grow on the side of the mountain like weeds. Beautiful.

  3. They grow wild here in northcentral Pennsylvania now, 50 years ago they were rare to non-existent.

  4. I don't remember them here when I was a kid but now they are all over Toronto. Climate change?
