Eastern Redbud, this flowering tree is another plant that I was introduced to later in life. My wife read about them and then talked about them when we drove down to Asheville NC for our single work away from home Covid move. It turns out there are quite a few plants in our neighborhood, once we knew the name we saw them al over. Alrington, Virginia, USA 2025 #RedBud #Flower

"Cercis, usually pronounced sir-siss, is based on kerkis, the Greek word for a weaver’s shuttle. Individual seeds are flat & oval & were seen as resembling a weaver’s shuttle[. Botanical names often refer to things] familiar in 1750, for example weaving [but] little known today."
