Doug: I think that's pretty good, only losing two out of your entire order. I have two kerrii's, the solid green and a variegated one that I received as cuttings in trades here on DG about two years ago. They are such slow ones for me, especially the variegated one ... that one kept losing all it's leaves and faltering, I really thought it wasn't going to survive. I recently potted them both together to make a fuller pot. They seem to have settled down a bit and are looking good. I'm hoping maybe next spring they will take off and really put on some growth! The green one had a peduncle for over a year and finally it's first little bloom last month. I was a bit disappointed, thinking it would be a larger bloom ball, sorta like the carnosa ... don't have a clue why I thought that!%#@


Shelley: The patella rooted rather quickly, as did anulata. I forgot to mention, the rocks on top of the soil is to hold the vines down .. a trick I learned from Carol that works great!
