Redbud is flowering

Here is a redbud tree (Cercis canadensis), just starting to flower, The redbud tree looks most reddish at this early stage, the red calyx of the flowers dominate the look of the tree. As the flower develops in the next few days the tree gets a more purplish hue from the color of the now more visible petals. This tree is at the corner of Waldron and State Streets. Picture taken April 20, 2009.
