Man, I am so sorry! Did you save your plants?
 
Amazingly, it seems only one plant was killed. A few other were missing. The one plant was a decapitated N RAJAH.
 
What the!!! Are there plant casualties? I'm guessing the plastic lawn chairs were place upright, or that wind really did come from hell if it spared them, but took out your greenhouses!

Don't feel bad, most of my Sarracenia got touched by frost the other night....moral of the story, never trust the weather forecast.

That is shocking, I really dont know what to say.

Aw man, I'm sorry! At least just the one plant!

Did you have the greenhouses staked down? Perhaps upon the next setup sink some cinderblocks udner the ground at each corner and drive your stakes into them. Squirt some 5 min epoxy (or silicone bathtub caulk) into the join of the stake and block. This oughtta hold em good n tight without pouring an actual cement border to anchor it to.

Good idea. I have about twice my weight in rocks weighting it down now, so i don't think it's going anywhere.

*looks outside*
Yep, still there.

No, the winds have died down. The greenhouses are back up, and the plants are in rehab. Looks like all bur N. rajah will survive.

I think i already know the answer to this, did you have winds there too? *FTG answers "yes"*

I just checked, and it seems that some of the pitchers rajah had are still inflating! They are still attached to the leaves/root system after all. Maybe i'll get some growth from the nodes.

No, the aliens were controlling me when I put the word "too?" at the end of the "Y-y-you got winds".
