March 22: Redbud and maple

[neverspent]

I wonder what it would be like if redbuds bloomed after the trees had started leafing out, instead of before? Would the buds be easier or more difficult to see against the green? I said before they're subtle among all the brown and grey. I think that makes them more valuable as a touch of color.



In my parents' yard there is one redbud, right next to a red maple which has its hundreds of pink and green helicopter seeds dangling now. I love how they look together.
