Pretty! My redbuds are so confused they didn’t bud or bloom this year. I thought maybe the drought got them but lo and behold, they’re leafing out now, after the rains. Who knows? LOL

Great. Maybe they will make a pretty showing after all. Red bud is just starting to come out here.

They normally don’t “bloom” once the leaves appear. We’ll see. At least they’re alive to bud another year!

Have you ever seen a “Forest Pansy” redbud? Our state capitol building has several of them around it, The leaves are burgundy. They are marginally hardy here, but I have been thinking about trying one. They are gorgeous!!

That’s a new one on me. Regular redbuds are indigenous here and the state tree. They’re normally pretty hardy but this year’s weather is beyond schizophrenic. LOL

I have a friend in Ohio who planted a Forest Pansy, and the last I heard it was doing well. I don’t remember exactly what part of Ohio she lives in.

Wow! Thank you, Vera for teaching me this. It reminded me of my saint of a dad, who had a dogwood planted in his front yard. I bet he’d heard the lesson. 🥹
