Spring Dreams

    This is the Cercis canadensis, and is native to North America, and is also called the Eastern Redbud. Mine is native to Oklahoma and is called the Oklahoma Redbud. It grows wild everywhere here and you can see miles of pink at present in the wooded areas and especially around lakes and rivers. And it is also our state tree.
    The "Judas Tree" is the Cercis siliquastrum, the European Redbud, and it grows in the Mediterranean region.
