Put simply

From Georgia

This used to be hideous a thing. A creepy black thing with diseased looking bumps. I really didn't like it. nope. Can't see a tree like that ever being planted near my house.

Then spring came along and flowers grew from what I thought were cancerous tumors.
These flowers bloomed... I thought the tree was dead.

Well, there you have it all summed up. Whatever seems bad, is actually good. You may only have to wait for the seasons to change.
