Redbud trees have a deep lavender to fuschia color to the flowers...maybe even
the color "orchid" comes to mind. Maybe what you are seeing are flowering
quince? Can you tell me where this tree is and when I go out today maybe it
will be on my path to where I'm going. I'd love to see it.

No...they're not redbuds. I know exactly what you're talking about, cause
I've seen them too. They're gorgeous, but I've never found anybody who
knows what they are. They are most definitely NOT redbuds, tho.
