Rain last Thursday

Great photo, Yorkshire! Looks very cool and green... :))
...but I don't know how you were feeling about it at the time! lol!

it smashed the begonia in half Karen,

Oh, I'm so sorry, Yorkshire...not one of the lovely ones you've posted?

in the pot the bottom of this photo, I nearly cried,

Oh no...that's one of the ones you posted the other week, isn't it? No wonder you're upset...do you think it will recover?

it looks good still, but half the size,

There's maybe just enough of the 'summer' season left for it to get bigger again...although looking at your photo and mine, the best of it may well be behind us...

you have lovely stone on your patio ~ it looks good when its wet!!

indian Stone Sticki

thought so, its really lovely

That's tough, Val, but don't let it put you off Begonias . . . really sorry though. :((

thanks girls,

Nice pot Yorks,

Is it stone too? looks like it from here.

The rain has highlighted the marbelling on your pot its gorgeous.

thanks Rusty thanks G/Mage, got the pot last year in the sales, think it was £12.

Its lovely :~)

stands over 2ft tall, could'nt get it in the boot, put the top down on the car and the boss was worried it would damage the leather seats, so a neighbour went to the GC and collected it for us, the rain had ruined all the lobelia that's in it,

You got it for a bargain Yorks. It is quite big! Maybe the lobelia will bounce back or on the other hand it might not. Lol !!

Nice area love the pot.

Lovely stonework. Yes we had heavy rain last evening. Didn't last long though. I was watching on television, the triathletics in London and thoroughly enjoyed it, but the men had to compete in some awful heavy rain.

Wow.... lots of rain !

it was quite unbelievable how much came down

hi it looks great please send me some wonderful RAIN not just a drop, it seams to be missing my garden,

it would be nice for my water collectors :))

it looks bad val hope you did not get any damage ,

xx us 3 :))

Added to GoYpedia Rain Damage ....

Thanks Terra. Mark we have a huge water butt and it was full in minutes, hit the Begonias hard and of course the Lobelia, how is my train coming along, you know the one you was giving to your Mother-in-law,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must've been on one of my travels when you posted this Yorkie...that pot looks cracking in the middle of your (very wet) patio. What did you decide to put in it in the finish..Ive forgotten!

I had something planted in it and can't remember whats its name, the boss has replanted it into a pot behind the gate now, will have to find something new for it next year,

How about a witch hazel or one of those corylus contorta (a wiggly woggly tree) they do one with red leaves and with both you would get winter interest?

thanks Tet, I will take a look at that on internet, x
