CAM--you seem to be quite the gardener....you are fitting in just fine!

Tell me--when would YOU take cuttings of an Azalea?
My next-door neighbor is a busy gardener from Pakistan.
She can root anything--seriously! Her secret is that you must water the
cuttings 4 x a day. Works for her...not sure I would do that....

I have another unusual Azalea--but it is too small (not too young) to find a place
where I could take a cutting. It is called 'KOROMO SHUKIBU" and is spectacular--
very unusual.

My idea of rooting an azalea cutting is to cut off a small "bunch" from the
tip of the bush and stick the whole thing in a pot to root. I tried it on the Koromo--
but it did not take. What is the secret?

Here it is! This is from 2 years ago. It is not even in bud yet.
