Driving along the highway from Kentucky into Tennessee, I was astonished by the redbud trees, which were in peak bloom at the time. I had never seen them in such numbers before, and in this area they grow up as weed trees right along the highway and in other edge habitat. Their deep purple colors are completely unique among all flowering trees, and coupled with the bright greens of new foliage and the more typical white blossoms of other trees and shrubs, they made a spectacular spring show.
