After a weekend of storms with strong 70+mph winds, this is one NAKED plant. The flowers and the newer foliage is still looking good despite 4inches of rain and our first frost in several years. It is hard to see the flowers in this photo, but they are still there and the buds seem to be holding up.

I have decided to wait to take cuttings until all the buds open or disappear. I'll have to do some reading and will have some cuttings to share if I can figure out how to do it. Tomtom I would love to send you some cuttings, but don't know what the restrictions might be?
