#ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #Redbud #Iowa

The little seedling is an offspring of the stout redbud tree in the background. That tree, in turn, was a seedling of a tree in my parents’ backyard that they planted around 1970.

Last year, I transplanted 3 such seedlings to a nursery row in my garden. I was able to give away 2 of the young redbud trees this spring.

No #gamedev these days. The weather is nice and there's work to be done outside.

We finally got the redbud in the ground, after clearing some rubble away. The surroundings are still quite unappealing, since our old house is being restored/reconstructed, and there's construction stuff all around, but it will look really nice one day 😉

North American #redbud is in the genus Cercis, & the pea family, Fabaceae, & they are a low water-use planting.

"Cercis, usually pronounced sir-siss, is based on kerkis, the Greek word for a weaver’s shuttle. Individual seeds are flat & oval & were seen as resembling a weaver’s shuttle[. Botanical names often refer to things] familiar in 1750, for example weaving [but] little known today."

Spread the word: daylily bulbs are easy to peel after steaming but not before.
