    Anyone else's plants affected by the wind these last two days? My canna lily looks sorry for itself. Lost one leaf and the other's hanging off.

      I took the liberty of moving my summer planters into the shed, in the garden I got lucky, no damage thankfully :)

          Looks like I got off lightly! I'm going to see if my Canna will keep growing as another leaf spike is still there. Hope it keeps going.
