The “Judas tree”. A beautiful tree that flowers for Easter.

The Cercis Siliquastrum, commonly known as "Judas tree", is native to the eastern Mediterranean and blooms in my City Cagliari (Italy) in this period.
The Judas tree can become up to 10 meters and it is very special for its beautiful flowering characterized by many small flowers in pink, almost purple .. Its common name comes from the legend according to which Giuda Iscariota, after betraying Jesus Christ, hanged himself on this tree ...
In fact, this tree blooms just at Easter ..
