“Blooming Redbuds”
Heatherwood Woodland Garden
This post is for my friend, J. Charles. Like you, I love redbuds. These are four of nine in our woodland garden area. We have three more scattered around other parts of the garden. When we lived in Virginia, the surround hills were decorated with native eastern redbuds and dogwoods in early spring. They usually bloomed before the other native trees leafed out. In our woodland grove, we also have five dogwoods. However, only one is an early bloomer that bursts out at the same time as the red buds.
Here is another image for your enjoyment! We have an Adirondack settee located where this image is taken. Its a great place for a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon glass of wine, or just a relaxing place to get out of the afternoon sun.

Every year I look forward to tulips, daffodils and Redbuds. They are Mother Nature’s way of shaking off a long and boring winter with brilliant/vibrant colors, SHOUTING – LOOK AT ME – SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Time to get excited about the gift of and renewal of life. Wake up world, here I come. WHOOPEE!!
