Margie and Charlotta and Gretchen -

I have some rooted cuttings looking for a good home. I recently bought two rooted cuttings on ebay. They were for "Pink sauvoelens" - I think the seller was Georgiavines. Anyway..the cuttings arrived about a month ago. They looked healthy and were about a foot tall each with 2-4 leaves at the top. I thought they were too lanky looking so on a whim, I cut two more pieces off the top of each one and stuck them in small coke bottles with water to root. I gave them a squirt of Messenger (LOL. Yes, I know I'm obsessed with Messenger - but I figure it couldn't hurt right?). Well, they rooted in about 5 days and I potted them up. See the pic below? Now I have SIX! The two bigger ones are the original cuttings which are really growing fast! The other ones are the new cuttings I made. Anyway..they are growing so fast I am worried about how I will overwinter them all as I have very limited window space. So...would you three like to adopt a cutting each? I also will be cutting up my Jean Pasco and Dr. Suess before frost and will offer those cuttings to anyone interested in a trade or a SASE. So what do ya think? Do any of you have this variety? I was just dying to get a pink one.
