Judas Tree in bloom - a photo on Flickriver

            Also known as Redbud or Love Tree, this beautifully blooming tree is native to western Asia and best known for its deep pink flowers. It can grow to a hight of 10 to 12 meters.

The name “Judas Tree” is most likely derived from the name Judea, which is the geographical region where this tree once believed to be growing wild. 

There is a legend surrounding it, with roots in Christianity. it was believed that the flowers were once white. But in the night when Judas the Iscariot betrayed Jesus he hanged himself from a tree of this species. Part of that myth is the appearance of flowers on bare branches, often directly on the trunk, which makes the tree look like ooze blood.
