Hail can sure wreck water lilly leaves

We had one heck of a hail storm this past weekend, on two seperate
ocasions within abaout 2 hours time frame. Hail the size of golf balls
came with the first storm, and the second storm brought enough hail to
totally cover the ground and make it white, about the size of
nickels.......Then again last night we got yet anbother heavy hail
storm about nickel size once again. Sure made a mess out of the nice
new leaves my lillys had.........I guess probably 75% or better of the
lillys I had planted this year had at least 4 or 5 nice leaves on the
surface already, and were looking super....now they are tattered and
look pityfull......Well its early in the season here, so there is
ample time for new growth. My water temps are in the low 70's and
everything is already pretty well greened out and growing. I think the
iris (whats left of them anyhow after the hail) should be blooming in
a couple more days.......

Yes, they sure can. We had one here the other day, and I said to myself,
glad there are no pads up yet. Sorry about yours getting messed up. ~ jan
