Redbud

 

One of my favourite sights in spring is Redbud trees which become covered in small pink flowers all along their branches. We never saw them here when I was a kid but now with the temperatures not quite so cold in winter there are a lot of them in the city. I was walking along in a laneway when I saw this one in someone's back garden.

I'm not sure if we have them here in the OV.

What a gorgeous tree. I love it when trees are blooming but we don't have anything that blooms in such a beautiful color.

I first saw Redbud trees when we lived in Iowa. They are stunning when in bloom.

i see these trees in my area all the time and they are one of my favorite trees. i never understood why them called the red buds until i looked at the tree up close. i also believe that the little flowers are "purple" and you will never convince me otherwise!! hehehehe

this is a beautiful picture!!

It's pretty and I don't think we have that tree here, unless we call it by a different name.
