Weird Weather

We have had some weird spring weather. Last week a big black cloud dumped not only a lot of rain on us, but also a lot of hail. It came down hard for at least 5 to 10 minutes. When the cloud left us, we had about a half inch of hail on the deck. It looked like it had snowed. It melted with in an hour.

Hardiness

Last week we had a last blast of winter. It snowed a few inches over night and then melted during the day and then snowed a little more overnight. Temps were down into the 20's at night. I do not remember what type of flower this is, but it seems to like the cold weather. This is one hardy plant.
