    Holy Hailstones Toni! That is a lot of hail. The weather has been crazy lately. I was sorry for the folks in Oklahoma that were devastated by the tornado.
    We are getting a very chilly heavy rain todaywith strong winds, and the western part of the state has snow and ice. Yucky weather for April!
    Hope it warms up quickly for all of us.

    I told dr that we might get rain last evening. The wind came up and we got some dark clouds overhead. But, they just blew away and the sun even came peeking out before it set. I'm sorry you got so much damage from the hail. Did you get any rain at all? I guess when it melts it will provide some water to the ground but rain would have been easier on your plants and your car.

    I hope the insurance pays up for the damage to your car Toni. What a pity they don't cover the cost of replacing plants too. Let's hope that many of your plants recover from the onslaught and go on to bloom for you later this year.

    Toni I hope not to much damage.I gOT this add in my e-mails thought you might like to see it.Special Product Feature
    Midnight Mystiqueâ„¢ Hyacinth
    New & Unique - Save 31%!
    » BUY NOW!

    SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

    A massive breakthrough in hyacinth hybridizing, this is the first black hyacinth offered in U.S. history!

    We searched for a truly black hyacinth for many years before finally coming upon this beauty. A true labour of love, Midnight Mystique was nearly two decades in the making, but well worth the wait. The first of its kind, blooms are the deepest, darkest colour we have ever seen in a hyacinth. So unique and so valuable, the first three bulbs of this variety exchanged hands in England for £150,000!

    At just 10" tall with lustrous black, highly scented florets that glisten in sunlight, it will be an irreplaceable addition to borders, pots and other prominent locations in your spring garden. This variety is also quite tough, withstanding variable spring weather with ease and returning year after year with little care.

    Midnight Mystique bulbs are available only from Breck's, and only on a limited basis. You can be quite certain that you will be one of a very few to show off this unique beauty in your garden!

    Zones: 3-9 Bulb Size: 15-16 cm Height: 8-10" Bloom Time: Early Spring

    Those sound pretty, but I am not a real big Hyacinth fan.

    By the way, I edited the information you posted to remove your email address and other company information from Breck's
