Thanks Virginia. well your plants are in the hands of the piority mail folks.. as of today at 5 pm.. my guess is delivery to you there on Wednesday.. mostly it was the matter of what would be small enough to fit into the box.. and be strong enough for the ride..
You've a small plant a seedling of mine.. an Ollie X ? cross .. from '07 Ollie is a fairly large .. always flowering white. Brug.... I can't say what the cross was .. there's a few good suspects blooming near by back then.. .. then there's another well rooted Brug cutting.. it looks to be one of my saved and rooted out cuttingsfrom last year.. taken asa back up... of a better one.. just incase of some problem with the big one overwintered.... all the big things did just fine.. so I sent the back up to you. poor baby lost it's tag somewhere in the process of life.... the last brug is a small cutting... well a broken off bit of I believe Mountain Treasure.. which was in an isle. trying to get prefered treatment.. but as many of the special treatment plants go.. succeptable to other dangers.. in the brightest/warmest/ hotest places.. so it was hit and broken in it's lsle position...a top tip of it was broken.. above the " Y " and water rooted with some other plant. which rotted and got this one a bit mushy.. so I cleaned [ H2O2 ] and re cut it .. and it had the first of some tiny root hairs to start.. I've wrapped it in wet paper towels then plastic over... it had 4-5 strong small leaves on it.. it's taped in between the other two in the long triangular box.. plant it right up upon arrival.. there you have the story..you said you liked awaiting mystery.. there yours are.. with a few clues..
enclosed picture: here's the seedling / cuttings for the new year.. to go in the already maxed out space with everyone from last year..all of whom made it just fine and are just abit bigger then when they came in in the fall.. also .. just started a few dozen new seeds yesterday....just what's the matter with me... my name is Gordon.. and I have a problem..
