One of my favourite trees, Cercis siliquastrum, flowers everywhere on its old wood. Its common name is Judas Tree, I wrote about it in this Portuguese post a few years ago.

If Squares are not yet burgeoning on your blog, then don’t panic as you have plenty of time. The Squares Gang and I will squaring daily until 31st May with photographic squares that;
- Move Forward
- Reconstruct
- Renew
- and/or are Burgeoning
You don’t have to join in daily, you can square weekly, ad hoc or even just the once. It is totally up to you, as is how you interpret the themes and whether your photographs are new or from the archives. I’ve used this one more than once now! As regular Squarers will tell you, there is only one absolute rule;
Your photograph must be square in shape
Good day Becky. I love your pink blossom for the day.
Mine is a hodgepodge of photos for today, since I double dipped with Judy’s number challenge.

This looks like my kind of tree, Becky. How delightful, and a little bit sad, to have the blooms growing all over the old wood 🥰

Beautiful pink blossoms on the tree! Seems a miracle they grow right out of the bark. 🙂

Gorgeous! I looked it up to see if it is the same as the redbud trees they have in Mississippi, and found the RHS give ‘love tree’ as an alternative common name for this one. The one over here is a different kind of cercis.

yes, someone else mentioned the redbud trees and so I was looking them up myself this morning as I thought the judas tree was european. Fascinating different native species around the world

That’s definitely burgeoning. Strange tree with the flowers from the branches, but very beautiful.

Once you know what they are you will probably spot them quite a bit, I certainly have since we first saw them in Portugal.
