Mike,

OK! I have, brazenly, gone forward and made "processing" the camelia cuttings the main "must" of this day. I have done it! It is DONE! Finished! Now I leave the rest to the fates of all the garden gods!

Here, for your approval, or disapproval is a step-by step documentation of what I did. Everyone else. PLEASE--just bear with me!

First--here are some of the cuttings. I "wounded" them at the base by scratching some of the stem with my garden scissors.
These are NOT the tip cuttings, but what was left after I cut off the soft tips. Why waste them? According to the link Brent posted, Camelia cuttings can be done from all 3 stages of woodiness.
