Re: Good grief...Revised

That's funny, because most of the flowers in our house get here by some adverse act of man or nature. We've got a big pot of heliconias in the sun-room because the wind knocked the bloom spike down. And on the kitchen table is a vase with Mexican petunias in it, the result of some pruning. Nice thing about them, even though the flowers only last a single day, they will keep blooming as long as there are buds on them, then they will root, so can go back into the garden.

I lose things to winds too. Nothing as dramatic a Jack and the Pothos
Stalk, but I do have casualties. This is usually the only time I have
flowers in the house. Sometimes a lily that didn't get tied high enough on
the stake to protect it. Or something I accidentally pruned.

There was a bit of damage, after all. We have a large pothos
[Epipremnum aureum] vine climbing a tall slash pine in the back yard.
The vine is about the thickness of my wrist. There was a part of it
that was 15 or so feet off the ground with several large [2-1/2 foot]
leaves. That part of the vine got snapped off.

Here's a picture of part of what's left.

Yep, it's the same vine that's sold as a house plant up north. Given a
chance, however, it really grows large.

No loses. It was brief, pea sized, but enough to briefly turn the
ground white and make me fear for the paint job on my truck. Mostly it
was just weird.

You didn't lose anything I hope!  Hail is bad.  It's one of the
reasons homeowners insurance is so high here.

Sorry about your plants... I would imagine it could destroy a lot of
tropical stuff there...

It's a hail storm! First of those I've seen in a long time. Last
one
in
Sacramento. Never here before. Bah!
