Cercis occidentalis, California redbud, an attractive pink-flowered dry site species. Back-lit seedpod shows off small, hard black seeds. Seeds can be washed in acid or rubbed with sandpaper to aid their germination. In nature these seeds lie dormat in the soil for several to many years before their seedcoat deteriorates sufficiently to allow moisture penetration and subsequent germination. A member of the legume family.
