Things change, change. You cannot have anything, least of all the present - unless you accept all of it with the past and the future. Only their reality makes the present real.

Most trees and shrubs that exhibit cauliflory and ramiflory are in the tropics, but the eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a rare example of a temperate region tree that grows flowers on its branches and trunk!

Redbud syrup in the bottle!

I was worried I was going to miss the bloom like I have the past two years, then that the flowers were going to get fried by the hard freeze we had. But they stuck it out and bloomed a week early and I was able to harvest enough for nine bottles of syrup.

I also made an additional four bottles of violet syrup since those are blooming profusely.
