Lin, i got the camera out and held up the leaves on this Dresden Doll........it started out with 5 crowns and I gave away two crowns..........she is still big and pretty..........with 3 crowns.......

PS>>>> The instructions i read were not to really 'cut' out the crown, but pull all the center leaves away...pinch them out just like you would a sucker....only leave about 4 or 5 outside leaves.......then the plant will start to sucker like crazy forming more crowns..........I always seem to get suckering with plants less than a year old anyway............
