I noticed that there was a "trend" this year to have mixed colors of CC's in the same pot.
May look great--but I am not sure how, or IF, they may interact between themselves.

I got many new sections from the racks of CC at my HD and also from Lowes. Just small broken off
pieces laying on the shelf. I know I will have white and a solid, medium pink.
Have them all tucked in little 2" clay pots. Seems they are all rooting.

As for keeping CC's outside when it gets cool, NOT freezing!--I have always done that.
They seem to set buds better that way. I have never noticed any color changes....
However--my CC's all spend the growing season on a multi-armed plant stand under my
patio roof--catching just bits of late afternoon sun.
So--even it it does get to the low 50's or high 40's--they are still protected...

Roux--
The macro of the salmon CC at the start of this thread is mine. I could send you some starts for postage.
D-mail me if you are interested.....

Last day of 2011......Much health and happiness to all of you as we step over the threshold into a New Year.
