Redbuds are an odd tree. In the spring little bumps form on the trunk and branches and then turn into intense purple flowers, followed by the leaves a fews weeks later. The top picture is of the buds , with a few tulip tree flowers in the foreground. The bottom is of the new leaves. This was a rescue tree. Janie had been handing out seedlings for The Nature Conservancy and had two at the end of the day. She brought them home and I planted them.
