Such beauty 💖

👍🏼 @xzellay

So do I love this time of year and I love your Cercis💕

Well I’m going to like it ...lots 💞😆

😀👍🏼 @kathy

And I’d expect nothing less 😉 🤣 @juliesgarden

👍🤣🤣

So pretty! Mine is not quite at this point yet, buds are swelling tho. I love my redbud, cant wait!

I think the leaves are a lovely shape also @lesliecole49 👍🏼

They are. Before I knew the name my kids and I called them a valentine tree because of the heart shaped leaves.

Things are really popping in the garden now 👊🏼 check out this #newgrowth 😄 #cercis #pink #buds #bud #earlyspring #spring

Love this colour. 🙂 @justin

Beautiful shrub 😍

Fabulous colour 💞 isn’t it wonderful how a bit of sunshine brings everything to life Justin 🌞🌞🌞

It’s really lovely @bluefox23 I completely agree

Sure is 👍🏼😁 @kathy

Yes it really is @lovemygarden65

Love the colour 😍

Me too 👍🏼 @greenfinger14

Love this one Justin - do you find it reliably hardy? Lots in Crete and love the pink buds against the clear blue skies

Yes it’s been totally fine. The late snow took the shine off the flowers this year and they didn’t seem to last so long but still looked great @tash74 👍🏼

Happy Friyay ya’ll 🎉 #newgrowth #buds #pink #midwinter #winter #cercis #wintercolour

I planted mine last autumn can't wait to see it flower. Yours is budding nicely.

Morning Justin @justin ........happy Friday to you too :)

I have two and this one is much more advanced than the other because I think this one is in a more protected spot 👍🏼 @mikethegardener yours will be along before long no doubt 😀

Yes this is the best it's been since I planted it so it must like this new spot I moved it to last year 👍🏼 @michelleh

Thanks so much Deborah as always 👌🏼 @latebloomer have a super weekend

And then comes the 💚 shaped #foliage #cercis #spring #newgrowth

Morning Justin! ☕️ Foliage always amazes me! So many different colours and shapes!

Those leaves are beautiful!

Gorgeous colour @Justin 'morning'

Couldn't agree more Ian... Quite often just as, if not more than interesting than some flowers though I have to say I think this shrub/tree has it all! Have a good day @bigemrg

Glad you think so 👍 @SylviaDavies

Good morning June 👋☕️ @junebensted

Morning Justin ,Love the shine on the leaf 👌🏻

Very pretty! Enjoy your day @justin 😀

Beautiful Justin 💕 It's going to be another lovely day. Have a good one 😊🌞

Really pretty, but this is bad. I've checked out the plant details, and am now looking at the garden and wondering if I could sqeeze one in, and if so...where? Have a good day all 🌞🌸🌿

That's lovely. Like @rusty I'm wondering if I could have one in my garden. Wishing everyone a fantastic gardening day

My that's pink 🙈😎 have a great day Justin 👍

A lovely pink it is too... Morning @justin & everyone hope you all have a lovely sunny day

Good morning Ian ☕️ you too 👍 @bigemrg

A little overcast here and chillier today Mo but dry. Enjoy your sunny day 👋 @mojo

Glad you both like it 🙌 and trust me, you won't be disappointed 😉😋😂 @rusty @vespa

Always worrying when you move things around that they wont come back! 🤔morning all. Frosts here but blue sky and sun

Morning all , have a great day 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Very attractive! #red #cercis

@justin This is beautiful bare stem buds. Great colour. New to me. Must investigate.

Beautiful @justin my ones doing very well might have to find somewhere else for it

Thankfully it's doing really well 👍 @krishnahairdo

Just had a look through the history of this plant - the flowers are fantastic! Hope you get the same this year!

Monday's just come around way too fast. Hello GTers #pink #newgrowth 👋

Gorgeous @justin 🌸

It's not Spring yet! Go back to sleeeep 🙄😴 #pink Good morning GTers 👋

We need some frosts to slow everything down @justin

We sure do Joan 😔 @joanboston

Very pretty 👍 colder weather forecast this week ❄️

Here's hoping so @debs69 as all I've had for the last 24hours is rain and more rain 😭

Me too @Justin ☔️💦☔️

Morning everyone🤗 its a gorgeous little bud thou @justin you cannot tell it off😄

And its pouring 💦 here too!

Morning Jan ☕️👋 @janric

Mine isn't flowering yet but plenty of buds did you take the branch out @justin

Yes I did as it was getting very tall @kathy and therefore just growing upwards!

I have this one @SylviaDavies which I think is a slightly different variety but still beautiful and I love it. This one can take 15-20 years to mature and other details can be found by tapping on the plant name 👍

Looks beautiful! Flowers on the branch then does it before the leaves? Will have a read, thanks,

It sure does... the leaves form at end of branches and start off small but grow to be big and heart shaped. I do think it's one of the nicest things in my garden when it flowers, it looks spectacular 👍 @SylviaDavies

Thanks. Any suggestion of suppliers? @justin

I got mine from here https://www.ornamental-trees.co.uk/cercis-chinensis-avondale-tree-pp584 and I think Crocus also sell them. I planted mine early Spring and as you've read elsewhere moved one early winter last year and it's been fine but I'm in Surrey so not sure if location would make a difference or not... @SylviaDavies

Thanks @justin

This one looks amazing when the blossom comes out. Not long now

Like the green heart in the comment! Cute
