New leaves will replace the ones shredded. So sad fro your bluebonnets.I have fewer this year because I lost all the seed last year. But having said that I think this years bluebonnets were happier for being less crowded.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-5742938776640127722016-03-28T08:35:02.598-05:002016-03-28T08:35:02.598-05:00Wow!

I do say, only a gardener would know to look for the weeds in a photo. ;) <br /><br />I'm sorry about the hail damage, but dang if those bluebonnets weren't beautiful a week ago! Ours did not do well this year and I'm now wondering about the seed viability from the source we bought from. Last year was so much better for us.Mistihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152831329347482311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-28843183726021482982016-03-28T07:41:07.903-05:002016-03-28T07:41:07.903-05:00Oooof.

Fingers crossed everything manages to bounce back promptly to set seed, etc. Deer chew on the hesperaloe stems here routinely but even the bloom stalks they munch often persist and manage to flower eventually. I'm betting that particular mystery will be solved for you, and soon! Looking forward to "discovering" what type it is along with you. <br /><br />Happy Easter Bounce-Back!

I cleaned up the garden yesterday and it looks much better now. My biggest long term concern is how the large cactus will look. They were hit pretty hard on the south and west sides.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-4499609913344494512016-03-27T08:36:52.426-05:002016-03-27T08:36:52.426-05:00Surprisingly, several of the bluebonnets perked up...Surprisingly, several of the bluebonnets perked up. Bees were buzzing around the flowers yesterday. I may not have as many seeds, but it should be enough for next year. I probably have some dormant seeds in the soil anyway. I think the hail ended our oak pollen season a little early. Maybe there won't be as many acorns in the fall either.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-57202442578420308762016-03-25T19:58:28.456-05:002016-03-25T19:58:28.456-05:00I have faith your garden will come out of this wel...I have faith your garden will come out of this well. The storm was so bizarre. I live less than a mile west of you and we had no hail to speak of. I used to live less than a mile east of you, and the condominiums are a disaster!Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-29839951210821787902016-03-25T17:44:04.891-05:002016-03-25T17:44:04.891-05:00Oh nooo!

I hope there's enough left on the Bluebonnets to set seeds for next year.<br /><br />Always a bright spot with the leaves, they all fell straight down at once. Maybe it even knocked out a few of those oak tassels. We are coated with the pollen down here.Shirley/Rock-Oak-Deerhttp://rockoakdeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
