Love them, love them, love them. I just recently discovered the "white bud" and so I'm glad you included it here!
I also love the Forest Pansy but it is only half hardy here so none for me!

Thanks for the cheery article!

Mrs_Ed,
Thanks for your comments; I'm glad so many people love Redbuds. I've never even tried to grow the Forest Pansy, but might some day.
You are welcome!

They are beautiful and would probably do well in your area. You can only grow them here if you have a nice sheltered microclimate and you don't get continuous years of bad winters!!!

Great article, lots of info here. Maryland has its share of eastern (yes pink!) Redbuds, in the central and western part of the state which is getting into the Appalachians Mtns. I haven't had Redbud be invasive here or at my Mom's yard. Just the occasional, enough to share

Thanks, Mrs_Ed; I think I'll try to grow one.

sallyg: Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Glad you have Redbuds in MD, too.

Too all: Have a Redbud of a day (that means a beautiful day...LOL)!
