Spring Show Off April

Recommended Posts

It's early April and our gardens are starting to get colorful. I am going to post a picture of something colorful from here in SE Michigan and want you to put up a photo or photos of what is in color by you. This way we can see what others are seeing without being there.

Snow on the Magnolia on Tax Day 2020 in SE Michigan! 

 

It snowed all day, and the first image captured that!  Two days later it snowed again, but it was a little warmer as shown by the water droplets on the petals.  You can still see some snow accumulation inside the petals on the right. 

 

Since we had nighttime temperatures in the 20s for a few days prior to the snow, most petals got “freezer burn” and still look that way on 4/25.  I doubt there will be any full-open blooms this year because of the burn.
