I transplanted several 14" plants nearly 1 month ago near a small creek. I didn't count on my area here in the southeast getting 13"-18" of rain in 2 days (see national news, flooding etc.) I drove by the area a few days ago as I try to limit the exposure my vehicle gets near the site and sure enough, clear evidence of flooding with branches and other debris all over the place. Plan on going tomorrow for a careful look to verify that they either washed away or covered over with crap. Wish me luck.
