Thank you for the confirmation on that; especially mentioning how uncooperative they can be. I needed to cut a slit in the liner to accommodate the new diagonal growth downward. And your comment about the goats gave me a good chuckle with my morning coffee

Still, once those spectacular blooms appear, I forget all about their unhelpful traits and ask them to forgive me for periodically threatening to lob them over the fence to the family of goats that live on the farm across the street.
