I grew up in the mountain (ish) part of northwestern NJ, and I think we are two months ahead of that region, too. I remember redbud in May, not March! I've never made redbud jelly or tried it, but this reminds me of a memory of a botany classmate at Rutgers picking flowers off a tree to show us they are edible. I had forgotten!
So beautiful. I noticed bluets blooming among a patch of moss (for the first time) during my morning dog walk.
I love bluets! I finally saw some this week at a granite outcrop.
What beauty in your backyard! I'd never looked at the blooms on an elm and that photo is stunning!
Thank you! I can't believe I've overlooked them for so long.
You are about 2 months ahead of our blooming schedule up here in the Virginia Highlands. Have you ever made a redbud jelly - so gorgeous!
