That, I'm sad to say is a true story. The wind usually comes from the North west direction. My back porch faces the east. I would tuck this Cym in the north corner right by my lattice wall with a Virginia creeper growing on it with my grill on the other side of it and the stinking wind was still blowing it off the porch. I can't tell you how many times I had to retrieve it from the lawn and put the media back around it.
I thought this poor thing is never going to grow. So all these new growths is a big win for me.
And another sad story, we were having a big storm one time snow blowing and you couldn't see anything just a white out. I had my horses in the shed and was trying to go feed them but I couldn't see it. I ended up on the fence line but finally did find the shed. That's why you don't leave the car you will get blown over by the snow in a big drift
