New Growth on my Red Buckeye February 26, 2017

This is my favorite tree.  It breaks dormancy so beautifully.  Look at the new leaves opening up.  Wow.  And the leaf buds are really special, but I was too late and didn't get a photo of one of them.

 The leaves branch out from these pretty pink leaf buds.

 It is a flowering tree, and this is what the flower buds look like.  Whe they are open they are red tubular flowers.

 And look at the unusual leaves.  This is just a really, really great tree.
