Failing to Bloom

I stopped to take some photos of the flowers in my friends front yard; she came out and said that the dogwood tree was not doing well......there were hardly any flowers and the few that were blooming were small shriveled shapes.......but I showed her the photo I took of one of those blooms that had not fully opened yet.....we both agreed that it made for a better photo than expected. So here is that shot for Flower Friday. Thanks Anni for your faithful hosting of this popular challenge. 

I am headed to the beach tonight.....see you with a photo there tomorrow.
