The deciduous trees were just starting to bud a couple of weeks ago when I visited my son and his family in the Appalachian Mountains. Redbud trees were spring’s early risers decorating rocky hillsides as I drove toward the mountains. Later, I got to see some Redbuds up close at Daniel Boone Native Gardens. The buds weren’t actually red, but a soft pinkish purple, very pleasing to the eye.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted by Parul Thakur on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.

I love our redbuds. Usually the first tree to flower, followed by dogwoods.

What a combination! I did see a dogwood or two blooming also.

One of my favorite trees JoAnna. I love how the flowers are so close to the bark ❤ 🌸🌸🌸

I missed the redbuds when I lived in Southeastern Georgia. I missed them so much. I am so happy to be home, and so glad you also enjoy the redbud trees when you come over to our side 😉

I guess they need a little cold weather. It definitely was a treat! 🙂

Thank you, David! I’m glad you enjoyed them!

An unfamiliar species for me but it is so very pretty. The flowers seem to be growing directly from the stem or trunk. Thanks for sharing this lovely tree!

I’m glad you enjoyed this tree. It’s one I was not very familiar with either. I think Thursday Tree Love got me to pay more attention! 🙂

Wow! I have never seen a tree like that. The branches are all laden with flowers. What a gorgeous one. Thank you JoAnna for sharing and joining this week. I love that I am able to see this sitting far away in India 🙂

I’m so glad to share something new for you to enjoy! And it is wonderful that you can see them sitting so far away. 🙂
