My redbud seems to be on a later cycle than some around here, because there is no pink yet. The buds are swollen so they'll probably appear tomorrow. There are some wonderful trees already in bloom in the area. Pears, redbuds, quince all brightly blooming in area yards, and the magnolia have already finished. (I think my quince died in the drought, or the dogs ate off all of the branches with buds)
