Cullette's Tree

March 2010. The hyacinths are up and about to bloom.

 Here are the purple pansies in full bloom. Since purple was Cullette's favorite color, of course I chose these.




This is the tree in April 2010. The red bud blooms a bright fuschia pink/purple. The blooms come directly from the branches - not like most blossoms. Red Bud trees are in the peanut family, so the blossoms taste like peanuts- and are edible.



By May the tree is in full leaf. The leaves are heart shaped.
A Red Bud in full bloom. The tree grows slowly, so Cullette's tree will not look like this for several years.


Memorial Day 2010. I planted petunias in between the rain showers.
