Betty, In late November of '07, I had to take a 4' cutting off my potted MM because I had to sever the roots growing out the drain holes. I cut the branch into 6 - 7 pieces to root. They all rotted. I've never had all the pieces of one cultivar rot before. Then last year, it was so hot and dry that my Brugs didn't grow much. If my MM grows this year, I will send you a cutting later in the year.

For comparison, MM is slightly paler in winter in a greenhouse. I also noticed the calces on some of the blooms are shorter. You can see a normal sized calx next to the bloom.
