I lived in Kansas for several years, I know that kind of wind, and have seen a tornado or two. Also been thru a few hurricanes down south, Camille for instance. But, I'm not talking about just surviving some place. I'm all about the ones that thrive "here", in our little wind tunnel valley. Small blooms work best. I'm 58, and if there is any lesson that I've finally learned, it's to love what you can have. But I still love the edges and ruffles. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
