Oh what a difference a day can make. The clouds are gone, the haze returns, the wind is a gentle breeze! All that is left from two days of wind are some very roughed up plants, a few broken leaves and this beauty. The first cuc flower. Below is a second smaller flower just outta the pic. When viewing pic on comp (#3 in a series of 5), look what appears: a dreaded cuc beetle. Sneaky bugger is not there in pic #2 or #4. Of all the plants the cucs look the worst. The leaves look burnt and crunchy. Don't know if there is such a thing as wind burnt leaves but how else does one describe it. Hopefully time and rain (still none) will revive plants to a better state.
