And then the heavens opened...

I drink to make others more interesting.
and the storm said "Hey look! Blaine has his pitcher plants out in the open." And the mighty storm dropped over 2 inches of rain, which was good. But they were huge drops with alot of hail and wind. And the plants said "Ouch!"

Here are some pics of the results. Almost all of my sarrs took a pretty good hit. First the drought, then the bugs, now the "isolated t-storms". Sigh.

S Catesbei took the worst hit...

Ah, crap.

Nature took it's toll, oh well, things happen. Still, if I may say, very nice collection you have there. :)
 
Thanks. I don't have anything fancy or unique like the big timers here, but it's a start.
 
Could be worse, though, they coulda been picked up by the water and carried off, never to be seen again! *whistles innocently*
 
Oooooooooh! Who lives in a flava under the sea?
 
we had a hail storm a few weeks ago. a peiece of hail came in diagonally and went through one side of S. catesbei to the other. neat looking...but that pitcher cant catch anymore bugs.
