Tornado touched down in several places in the county last night. A house near work was blown apart. Trees blown over, etc.
Needless to say the terrace got a good blowing over. The tall cane begonia, Irene Nuss, has been stripped of a good many leaves. Really nothing harmed. The bird-of-paradise went over on her side, but that's the best for it in a strong wind, which would otherwise rip the large, fan-like leaves apart. I look forward to the weekend to make things right.
It's time for a trip to Fairchild Botanic Garden in Miami for a photo cataloging of the begonia beds, and maybe begin one for the palms as well.
