Missing Magnolia Tree Blooms
Personal memory by Joanne Caramanica

I live in northern Virginia. Because of the unusually warm tempereratures this winter, the magnolia and cherry blossom tree buds emerged prior to a hard freeze. All the buds froze and as a result there will be no tree blooms this year. Our beautiful spring trees are just a memory this year.
