Thank you Greg.
It is so soft to the touch, and goes through amazing color changes. Here it is in October wearing its wonderful soft green color.

I need to go out and see how mine are doing. It's been quite some time since I have looked at this one. I've never had problems with it during our long wet winter and early spring.

Lynn covering them is the best thing I could have done!! Julia gave me the specifics on what she does and it is really easy! I tip my hat to you.
