Description


The Redbud Tree By tradition, Judas hung himself on a Redbud tree. For centuries the Cercis siliquastrum has been called the “Judas tree.” As Judas hung on the tree, the tree’s white flowers turned red because the tree was ashamed that the betrayer of Christ died on it. The origin of this legend is unknown; however, many Israeli gardens, e.g., Neot Kedumim and Jerusalem Botanical Garden, associate the Cercis siliquastrum with Judas Iscariot. http://godasagardener.com/2013/12/23/judas-and-the-redbud-tree/

... always good to see you pop in, and I appreciate the generous comments.

With all the flowering activity here, I could spend a day communing with Nature, as our weather has been nourishing for plants and soul. However, I (as others) have duties and obligations, and had completely forgotten about fulfilling my obligations to the tax "trojans" 😅
