"CRAB APPLE  BUDS"

UPDATE on 3/23/2013: Thanks to Tom Scherer and Elizabeth Jacobs (aka arctangent) for identifying these yesterday as "Crab Apple Buds," and thus, the change of caption from "Unknown Buds" to "Crab Apple Buds."

I genuinely appreciate your comments on my "Peachy" photo yesterday. It took me a while, but after careful research, I found the official name for those flowers. Also, the first day of spring was Wednesday. It's raining and cold here now and we are suppose to have rain and cold weather for the next few days. 

TGIF!!!!
