Open Sesame

My flaming pink snow crab trees (and by "my" I don't mean they belong to me, but they're really close to my front door so to me they're mine) are absolutely screaming to pop wide open, but just haven't quite yet. Two years ago they were in full bloom on May 7 and last year on May 20, so it should be any minute. I'm jealous every moment I walk around the neighborhood and see all the other snow crabs in full bloom. 

Snow crab trees are like the Kentucky Derby, a bunch of gorgeous, exciting fun that's over almost before it even starts. Except I never lose money on the snow crabs.
