Photo of I thought blueberries were supposed to be easy!!

Does anyone know what's going on with my blueberries? My bushes are well established, and I've never really had a problem in 10 years. I was in my yard today, though, and suddenly noticed that my bushes are looking kind of burnt and...awful. They flowered fine, but many of the flowers are looking like this photo, and obviously aren't turning into berries. Any ideas? We did have very freakishly warm weather for awhile, and then the temps dropped, although I don't think we got another hard freeze again. I don't know if it just got too cold for the new growth? I can live with a bad crop of berries this year (although I'll be very sad about it), but I need to know if it's some sort of disease that will kill my bushes. Thanks for any help you all can give!
