Hi Becky! Your mom grows some of the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen!

I'm not having any luck getting my kholerias to bloom? They get long afternoons and early evenings of diffused sunshine and are growing well in their self watering pots. ...any advice??

Gail it seems like it would really help you care for everything if you had a cover over one of your stands, you wouldn't have to lift all those lids! I think I'll have to rig some kind of cover for my stand in the laundry room as it gets cool in their in the winter because of the doggy door. Even if I'm not propagating and just have plants they'll need a little extra I think...

Here is a recent picture of that Heartlands Lime Sherbet leaf that had the babies grow piggy back style on it, I took the leave out of the pot as I was dying of curiosity as to why the babies were growing like that and found there was absolutely no leaf stem left at all, just roots growing from the main rib and the babies growing up on the main rib.. don't know what went wrong but it sure is interesting..
