Clare,

OK, back in February, I went ahead and followed part of your advice, to make the first cut on the left (referring to you Jan 6 post above), applied rooting hormone and replanted the cutting about 3 feet away. Went about 9"deep into the ground, in an irrrigated spot.

Went back 60 days later --just got home-- and found the main plant MUCH bigger, the cutting doing great, the one stem I cut off about to branch, and two of the uncut branches flowering magnificently.

Some pics to elicit any further thoughts and advice you may have. With the test having gone so well, I plan to make all the cuts you recommended, to create two or three more cuttings and large new plants.

First the blooms...
