I thought I would share some photos of the aftermath on one of our green roofs in Melbourne after the recent weekend storms.  Melbourne was lashed with hail stones the 'size of lemons' and received 40mm of rain in 30 minutes.  There are some great photos of the Races in Melbourne to give you an indication of the mayhem.

Considering the above, you could say that the roof faired pretty well.  Like any terrestrial landscape the damage to succulent foliage type plants is always a problem with hail.  In the same breath these types of plants will readily sprout roots from their fallen leaves and in the end probably result in a greater density of planting.

I have great faith in plants and expect to see the roof bounce back from this most unusual storm.
