My last post was about Tropical Storm Rick and how all my plants had been affected.  Everyone said they would recover, and while I was hopeful, I was somewhat skeptical, especially with regard to the bamboo.  Take a look, I am amazed.

I guess I knew the banana would do all right, but after just 4 days it already is sending up a new leaf!

The handkerchief plant is recovering already.

This is the bamboo that shows above the patio roof.  Still pretty awful looking.  We have leaves all over the yard and I expect all the brown ones will fall.  BUT, there are some new green leaves, too.  And we have 3 or 4 big shoots coming up from the base of the plants.
(and yes, I will get out there and sweep off the roof before the next rain…)
