I threw my mums away, there was no new growth and everything was brown. I pulled it up and there was not very many roots and what there was tiny and it was dead. So my hubby is going to get me some new ones, hopefully I will be able to get them in the ground early enough to build roots so it will survive the winter . My poinsetta also died, I was moving things around brushed up against the stems and they broke, they were dried out. Oh well, if you measure my sucesses against my failures in the flower growing business, you will see I have had more sucesses than failures! I have a question, how much bigger does my moonvine have to get before it will start blooming? I gave one to a friend of mine and it was one that I had started with all the others and he has a bud on it already! Here is a picture of mine so far, how big does it have to get? I have it in the picture window and it gets all the morning sun.
