Hail+Iris

Hail + iris = disaster! Two back-to-back hail storms ripped through my neighborhood this past Tuesday and did a pretty good job of tearing things up. My irises, in full bloom, were shredded, as was the foliage of any plant with large leaves; the giant crambe, mullens, and especially my water lilies and lotus, really took a beating.

But hey, at least it wasn’t a tornado!
