I have been looking forward to the budding of our Magnolia tree in the backyard and all the other flowering bushes we have in the spring.  It's been disappointing this year.  With the temperatures bouncing all over the place, the plants have been confused.  The buds have come out too early and have been burnt by the frost.  This is from our Magnolia tree.  At first I was trying to capture the browness on the bloom from the frost and then I got this picture.  The whole flower is still a touch on the brown side because it came out too early, but I still think it's pretty.
