Flower Identification

The flowers tend to grow in clusters along the branches or twigs. These flowers exhibit the usual redbud morphology of two banner petals vertically, two wing petals pointing outward, and a keel petal covered by the wings. The flowers can range from magenta to pale pink, but are generally brighter and larger than those of the Eastern Redbud.
