I\'m here, I\'m here! I worked 7of 9 days, including 3 night shifts, now gearing up for about 6 hours of computer work. Ugh. Just living vicariously through y\'all. Barely watering things, so glad we got 0.9\" rain yesterday, so that is done :-)
Propagating nothing, but just had good news about a Cestrum \"Orange Peel\' I grew from a cutting last fall. I gave it to my sister about a month ago, when it was in a 4\" pot, about 5\" tall single healthy stem. She planted it outside, the neighbor\'s dog sat on it and broke it off. I told her to just leave it be, continue to water, as my established shrub will spring up from the roots if cut down by 10 degree weather. She says it did! Note to self, possibly this could be invasive.
Here are some photos of the \"siblings, which really need to be separated, one is already flowering-it\'s hard to capture the soft orange which is lovely. Currently my \"greenhouse\" consists of the dining room table. Also some Dragon Fruit I grew from seeds from a fruit I got at the grocery store-don\'t know what I will do with them, they grow in the sun outside in FL, and can get like 30 feet tall. Fun to do though, I swear every seed sprouted in 3 days.
