They are by far my favor...I long for red bud trees. They are by far my favorite. In the house Tim and I lived in...there was a red bud tree. The first year we lived there...it appeared dead and was extremely overgrown. So I took my trusty clippers and having no idea in the world what I was doing or even what kind of tree it was....I went to work. I cut off every dead branch I could. Tim told me that if it wasn't dead before my little pruning frenzy....it surely was after. He was wrong....that next spring it was beautiful and every spring after it would come back prettier and prettier. I so miss that tree and that life. Perhaps I need to go find me a red bud branch to force! :)Lisa Jacques Elamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436627482635590384noreply@blogger.com
