Default Not An Orchid ID
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.

Hey, Ross,
Thanks...I agree. The redbud I've seen is usually not as densely flowered but who knows....
