It's corrugated acrylic. Interesting idea about the sprinklers. I actually have a water line up there because I wanted to try cooling the end room roof, but that never worked for other reasons. I'll think about that. Thanks

I was just blown away with how long the flowers last. One of the old ones I had last year started blooming in the latter half of October, and it is only just starting to drop them. It still has half left!

Depending on how much of certain species from the spatulata group is in the "blood", some hybrids can last as long as 7 months as one of mine did.
Plus, they can bloom throughout the year without a pause.

On average, these hybrids last quite long about 2-3 months easily.

Now that's what I call value for money!
