ND Wind Twins
Dephiniums on the table
114 Pictures in 2014 - # 99 - On the Table
Monday night we had a horrendous storm with 80+ mph winds, driving rain, tornado warnings, terrible weather. Our yard had significant damage to the vegetable garden (photo coming soon), and trees that were downed in the wind. One of the saddest parts for me was my delphiniums. I have never succeeded in growing big vibrant delphiniums, and I do love them. So this year I was ecstatic that one plant in particular was huge, with multiple beautiful flower stalks.
The wind broke them all. There was worse damage to trees, but I was so sad about the delphiniums. A day later it occurred to me to at least salvage them for a vase display. So here it is, the remnants of the flowers from my best delphinium ever (so far). It does make a lovely display, but I would rather they be on the plant in the yard!
