And here in North Carolina, they show their colors everywhere, even along the heavily-traveled interstate highways. Redbuds are one of my favorite trees.

It seems to happen a lot. For instance, the Great Blue Heron I can understand...it's sort of a bluish-gray most of the time. But the Green Heron? There's not a speck of green on it.

I have one that I planted about 20 years ago, in a fairly sunny spot, in the woods where I live. I have an acid soil, but it had done well over the years, even so. Mine is in bloom now too. I also like the heart shaped leaves, but I hate to see the blooms go, because it is so pretty in bloom. I just love redbuds.

A factor in your lack of them, maybe?
