I was digging in the front yard i felt the back of my shovel hit something.

nooooooooo!

Dang it !! I hate when stuff like that happens...Believe me I have had my fair share of oopsies in my lifetime..I'm sorry this happened to you!!

Uh-oh!!

Ooooooooh, noooooooooo!

Yup ... I tend to step on things... even when I KNOW they are there ...

For reasons I will never know, I have never managed to cure myself of that problem.

Sorry your shovel just went crazy on you.

Ohhhh noooo

Awww, I'm sorry! I think it happens to everyone at least once. I remember one incident that happened to me: I took my vertigo-inflicted dog out to go to the bathroom last year and I called her to me to have her avoid my daylily bushes, but it only ended up making her lose her balance and fall right into the only seedpod I'd been able to get on that particular daylily. In hindsight, if I hadn't called her to begin with, she probably wouldn't have fallen into them. (I don't remember why, offhand, but that was an important seed pod for some reason.) There's always next year, though...

On your plant, it looks like there are still some branches with buds, so hopefully it still gives you a beautiful show soon.

We have two grandsons (2 & 3 yr olds) that were in the flower bed with us plant lavender and I was constantly telling them to Watch out for This or That
And then what do I do? Smack the plant and knock off three inflos

The plant seems to be doing well and has not packed up and left me for somebody else 's front bed.

Oh yeah... How about when you know you have to give them away for good? , "Boy do I ever want to lay down and cry".

OH DEAR

Why would you have to give them way?

My hubby might be taking a great job offer in a cold snowy area. My hobby is just that...a hobby.

That's heartbreaking

Sad to here but I have a good home for them here.

They are gorgeous

Couldn't you have a greenhouse in the new area? I live where I can't plant them outdoors but I have one that will be blooming in a week or so. You can't lose all those beauties!

Maybe it's not forever Gigi...

May the freshest most beautiful blooms a scents be with you through out all your journey.

I had my 75# moose of a dog break off a 5' branch of a Miami Rose in spring. He gets crazy hunting lizards and can do some real damage every now and then.
