It's come into its own now. Beautiful. All I remember riding my bike on the path along the creek were the Western Redbuds, and that I wanted some! I ended up with a mislabeled Eastern Redbud, that's turned into a tree, not the Cercis occidentalalis, but a C. canadadensis!

I hope that the cooler weather sticks around awhile for you (and us as well). I can see why you love this arboretum.
