Red Bud Tree at Long Hill Gardens

We went to Long Hill Gardens over the weekend, and everything was blooming at once! I loved this red bud tree, so I took some pictures of it against the dark tree in the background. I am partial to red bud trees, not only because they are so beautiful, but also because they remind me of the University of Kansas, where red buds are planted all along the main road on campus (Jayhawk Boulevard). At KU In late April, you walk under a purple canopy of red bud branches.
