I’ve been delighted to see blooming Eastern Redbud this past week everywhere I’ve traveled in Arkansas and Oklahoma. It is great to see them flowering again.<\/p>\n

By the time I left Utah last year and drove into Arkansas, the redbuds had finished blooming. The same thing happened when I traveled back home to Virginia in 2019 and 2023, the Eastern Redbuds had already finished blooming.<\/p>\n

But here I am, in 2025, getting to enjoy seeing the redbuds in bloom once more.<\/p>\n

Eastern Redbuds are in the pea family. I can see that by looking at the shape of the dark rose pink flowers.<\/p>\n

They are native to North America and can grow to be over 30 feet tall in the right conditions.<\/p>\n

The leaves of Eastern Redbuds are food for several species of moths and butterflies, so planting them is not only a joy because of their flowers, but also a benefit to insects, many of which are struggling to survive. Especially butterflies because their current populations are rapidly declining.<\/p>\n

I’m very happy I took these photos of this Eastern Redbud<\/span><\/a> in bloom. The last time I took photos of redbuds, I was still living in Florida, which seems like a lifetime ago. I guess I should dig up those images and add them to my galleries too!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
