After the Rain

A couple of weeks ago, we had a horrible hailstorm. The hail shredded the beautiful leaves on my flowers. It beat all of my roses off their stems. It pounded my chrysanthemum bushes flat. My garden was devastated!

I had no idea that from such destruction would grow such glorious flowers! My cannas are in bloom. My petunias have perked up. And I have five stems of Milk and Wine lilies! Count them: FIVE!!!! I have never had that many flowering at once! How exciting!
