Great idea Tonny! I was trying to remember which is a difficult feat to do these days. I have a huge frosty that is too big to cut down and replace with a darker one. But I have no clue where I got it or when. I also got a cutting of a double white from a neighbor but I do not think that was my first. I think my orange sang might have been first for I remember I had never seen such a thing before and was in awe. I know I was at a fancy hotel perched on a cliff over the Pacific Ocean in Mendocino. This place had their own nursery............oddly! But their grounds were huge and they grew their own plants for them. They had a huge sanguinea growing inside the nursery in the ground. I was fascinated. They had none for sale but after me being there for over an hour looking at it, I finally wore them down and they let me take cuttings. I took them home and thru sheer beginners luck it rooted.

It has grown!
