Redbuds Are A Bloomin'....

The eastern redbud is one of the earliest flowering trees. I love it's dainty flowers. (click on this pic to fully appreciate what I'm talking about!)

An interesting factoid that you can use to amaze all your friends with today:

Early American settlers are said to have used the redbud’s flowers in salads.

Yes, I'll take a Redbud salad, with Ranch (on the side), please!

I love my red bud tree but I don't think that it has started budding yet. Lovely image. Thank you for your comment and I am adding you to my Favorite Site too. I am from Anderson. How about you?
