Shrugging off the snow!

Shrugging off the snow! (Pieris japonica (Lily of the valley bush))

My Pieris Forest Flame has come through the flood, snow and ice - the little buds will hopefully open into lovely little bells. What a survivor.

I've got one of those i got it late last summer at a car boot sale it was only 50p but it was very very tiny so i'm hoping it will be alright aswell.

I'm sure it will, Clarice. I had a variegated one in a basket for Christmas and it was completely covered in snow a few days back - I shook the snow from it yesterday and it looks just as it did before :)
