Time for OC to start taking pictures again. He had almost forgotten how long, it has been ! Saw this from the deck yesterday while warming in the morning sun, Good thing it was morning as it hit 91 in the afternoon. - Attachments

Hi, John.
It's a little fuzzy (the picture, I mean), but by the COLOR it's an American Redbud, cercis canadensis. Sometimes they are multi-branched and shrubby; other times they're more of a tree.
With today's HEAT, ours are just about to pop.
