Native Trees

The redbuds (Cercis canadensis) are in full bloom. This one is a seedling from the huge one in the main garden that I planted out in the front lot a few years ago.

On the old tree some of the flowers just sprout out unexpectedly on the main branches

 Horse sugar or sweet leaf (Symplocos tinctoria) is all over my little wood. the flowers are sweetly fragrant and the leaves eaten by horses & deer hence it's common name.

Dogwoods (Cornus florida) get a light & airy  form when grown in the woods.
I wonder if the good rain last year has made them so beautiful this year
