Eastern Redbud Tree

Cercis canadensis

This small tree in the legume family showcases lovely pink blooms in spring and is native to much of eastern North America. They grow in a variety of habitats, but prefer well-drained slopes in woods without many other plants to compete with. Its flowers are pollinated by carpenter bees and other bees with long tongues, and the leaves provide food for several caterpillar and moth species. The flowers on this tree are also edible and contain beneficial anthocyanins, a group of antioxidants.

I haven't really felt like myself recently, so I decided to take more walks round on campus the other day. I found these flowers growing on this one singular tree, I thought it was so amazing.

I still don't really feel like myself, I mean I feel like I don't even know myself. I left all the clubs I was in on campus and now I'm just really zeroing in on my classes, I feel like I don't belong anywhere. Every club I was in I really tried to make friends or join a friend group but I'm to shy to even start a conversation; I end up just trying to remember every social cue there is so I don't look or sound stupid. I have a few friends on campus but I can't read the room enough to tell how close of friends that we are so I guess that were just school friends just so I can avoid that awkward mistake of thinking we're closer than we are.

Which leads me back to these flowers. I believe these are Cercis Canadensis, also know as an Eastern Redbud. I couldn't find any flower language about it but looking at this tree it reminds me that even when life changes in a way that isn't favorable to you such as the incoming of a new season you despise or that making new intimate relationships isn't the same; remember that you only need a few flowers to change your perspective because change isn't good or bad it's just different and sometimes there's good in what you can't see yet.

Plant of the Day

Monday 6 January 2025

The heart-shaped, deep red-purple foliage of Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy' (purple eastern redbud) produces these amazing shades of orange, bronze and red-purple in autumn. This large deciduous shrub or small, often multi-stemmed, tree is best planted in the final location when young as older plants resent being moved.
