Sounds like a constant labor of love. Is there something other than bark that they could grow in that you wouldn't have to change so often?
I really want to try one of these. This one and an armeniacum. Those are my two that are a "must have" on my list for the future.

It's a really pretty flower. Well done for getting it to bloom, it sounds like a really difficult one
