Hi Karen,

I'd be interested to see if the cuttings will root on your cassia. I have a few of them. One has big seed pods that I'm waiting for them to pull. The other has blooms and the beginnings of seed pods. I planned on saving the seeds to put in the BF garden next year.

The ones I have were cut way back last year. They came right back up this spring. Of course, we only get 2-3 really cold days here.

I don't think we did anything special last year with the cassias, but don't remember for sure. We do have a small area that we put tarps on and cram as many plants as we can in there, but most of the bigs ones sstayed out because there just wasn't much room. I hope to use my deck area as a wintering place also this year.

Chuck, here is a photo of mine. I've always known them as candlestick plants, until this year.

As for the exchange, I'll be happy to participate. Someone's going to have to tell me what the seeds of the milkweed look like though because I can't say that I've seen any yet.
