OK, so I'll follow up to my own thread as it seems like an obligation.

My investigations have indicated that certain species suffered a nearly 50-75% loss, in some locations, nearly 100%.  Much worse losses on any species that had gotten remotely close to flowering.  

The blueberries for example, lost virtually every exposed flower.  They're all brown and wilted.

Flowering cherries, are 100% dead.  Magnolias, 100% dead.  Fruit trees, 50-100% dead.

I learned something interesting through my necrotic investigations.  Certain native species have the ability to put out a flower from secondary buds.

The rule is that as long as the flower died in the bud stage, the secondary buds will take over and flower in their place.

Not all species are capable of flowering from secondary buds.  

I'd be curious to know if anyone here on this list knows which species are more likely to flower from secondary buds.  Which are not?
