Wandering the mountain today, and a surprise. Redbuds (Cercis canadensis) within days of being in bloom.

And these blooms even show up on the trunk, and older stems of the tree. This is called cauliflory. There are estimated to be more than 100 species of plants, the world over, that are cauliflorous, scattered among a wide variety plant families.

No matter the location of those flowers on the trees. The woods will soon be pink, pink, and more pink!
