The Star Magnolia is a tree that gets to bloom about once every three years in Pittsburgh. It opens its flowers very early, and they usually end up frost-blasted either shortly after they open or while the tree is in bud. This year some of the trees had a chance to bloom before the frost; this one had lost some flowers, but was still making a brave attempt to bloom in the Japanese Courtyard Garden at Phipps Conservatory.
