“Judas, the one who betrayed him,
realized that Jesus was doomed. Overcome with remorse, he gave back the thirty
silver coins to the high priests, saying, "I've sinned. I've betrayed an
innocent man."
They said, "What do we care? That's your problem!"
Judas threw the silver coins into the Temple and left. Then he went out and hung himself.”
Matthew 27
They said, "What do we care? That's your problem!"
Judas threw the silver coins into the Temple and left. Then he went out and hung himself.”

Wow, Ginny, this is amazing!!! I love it!
What a breathtaking sight to behold, Ginny!!
the header is beyond breathtaking.. i just sat and stared at all those trees, it is the mixture of colors and all the different sizes and of course the red buds... awesome sight and who could say there is no God when staring at that sight... awesome photos of those Judas Trees. i had forgotten they were called that. there were many of them in Savannah but not here.
Wow what a beautiful color! Especially the header photo is amazing! I agree, maybe they are not grown in yards so much because of the name and story behind it. But it sure is pleasant to drive highway seeing these beautiful trees!
Such pretty trees really should have a nicer name I think.

Leaves me breathless, ginny.
I have never heard that story before about the Red Bud being called Judas Tree. Goes a long with the Dogwood Tree story.
They grow in the woods and yards here in the mid-south.
Learn something new every day on these wonderful blogs.
Such a welcoming blaze of color and interesting story.
That may be the legend about this tree and true or not,the tree is spectacular.
Interesting legend for such a beautiful tree.
Wish I had one of those trees. Simply breathtaking. I am sorry, not sure what the name of the flowers in my PS post. I think they are in the daisy family tho.
Oh my goodness...what beauty and color!!!
And, Ginny, you're 1/2 right on the bird that is nearly extinct...saying it is a sandpiper...in my post I posted it's called a spoonbill sandpiper.
Such a beautiful tree to grace the scenery. Blessings, Catherine
Such splendor in these beautiful buds.
Our red-bud trees have already leafed out and the deep red leaves are just as pretty as what the buds were....
Happy Spring...
The red bud trees are always a welcome sight around here. The ones you took photos of are gorgeous. How lovely to see those tree-lined streets with those pretty blossoms.
What a beautiful legend Ginny.
What a beautiful blossoms!
Hi Ginny, We have a lot fewer Redbuds here in Florida. I think it is among the prettiest of the Spring bloomers. Have a fantastic coming week. I hope your health is improving. I've been praying for you.
These are definitely beautiful trees, regardless of the name. We're fortunate to have two in our yard.
These trees are just gorgeous. Oh how I love spring!
I didn't know they were called Judas trees, how interesting!! What ever name they go by, they certainly are gorgeous at this time of the year, wow!
I love the Redbud trees. We have several that came up volunteer in our yard. Your shots are beautiful, Ginny! I wish they would stay in bloom longer. :)
Wow, those are gorgeous! I had forgotten they were called the Judas tree. A couple of our neighbors have them in their yards and they add color to the whole neighborhood.
