Redbuds (cercis canadensis) are a native understory tree here in Virginia and bloom very early in the spring. By the time the dogwoods are in full bloom the redbud blossoms are about gone. A few days ago the last of the bright magenta blossoms were still on the redbud trees as the new green leaves began to unfold. The transition was lovely in the late afternoon sun.
Nice composition Edd. I can see a few of the redbud flowers in the upper right. Is that a dogwood on the left? Man we are so far behind in weather ,it almost feels like autumn here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert. Yes that is a dogwood on the left, about at the peak of its bloom. (picture taken April 23).
