This has become a rather large ornamental tree in my yard. It was a volunteer...I now have several, this being the largest. It has these beautiful soft pink flowers arranged in clusters. The leaves, to arrive soon, are cordate (heart-shaped). Anybody have an ID? I thought it looked very similar to redbud, but I'm not a nurseryman and without my college-days dicotomy key, I'm lost.
It probably is Eastern Redbud, Cercis canadensis, from your description. Redbud has heart-shaped leaves. That's pretty dense flowering and not typical for the ones that grow in woods or tree edges, though.
I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
