The main trunks of the 20 foot inherited camellia bent low in February's heavy snow and some even snapped. The bush does this every few years when we get really heavy snow and always grows back. The Choisya ternata 'Sundance' was also splayed out all over the place requiring it to be cut back.

Fortunately, my dog friends don't seem to mind and are just excited to be able to play outside in the sun occasionally. This particular puppy is wearing a stray euphorbia bloom that was blocking the walkway.
