Abstract. Let $X_{2,d} \subset \mathbb {P}^{\binom{d+2}{2}-1}$ be the order $d$ Veronese embedding of $\mathbb {P}^2$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of schemes $Z, W\subset X_{2,d}$ and $P\in \langle Z\rangle \cap \langle W\rangle$ such that $Z\cap W = \emptyset$ and $P$ is not contained in the linear span of a scheme strictly contained in either $Z$ or $W$.
