I've included a picture of Lilly in the garden to give some perspective on the height of the plants. The wind has been brutal. Every other day I have to go outside and upright many of the taller ones. Maryann and I mounded dirt around the base, but the wind blows so hard (for Louisiana) that the plants sway back and forth creating a hole in the mound. Eventually the plant leans to one side or another of the hole.
None of the stalks have snapped yet. We did lost one of the larger plants to what I suspect was an overzealous dog running through the patch.
Notice the cat tail on the left side of the picture below. No doubt sniffing out a place to do his business.
