good going girl!! be sure to post when it blooms :)

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

thanks all! Liz and Jeanne, have you had this one flowering? If I do not like it maybe your friend, Jeanne, would want the whole plant. It then could live in style!!!I do have tons of silver foil on it trying to get rooted cuttings.

what is the silver foil for?

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

I think she's trying to air layer

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

I'd like to see a picture of that. I did mine with plastic bags as a cover. Have never seen the foil approach.

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

With foil? I haven't heard of that way - is it better than plastic?

How exciting Kell. Mine that I bought in June is now
just starting to really grow. I would love to see yours when it blooms.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Did it bloom? Sure wanted to see a picture of this one.

Kell, so exciting!! I do hope it's not a Frosty. You will have to take a pic everyday and keep us posted!!

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Hi again!!
If it is a frostie I will die, LOL. the buds are still there but it has slowed down. I still can't wait to see it.

the foil is so much easier to use to airlayer than the lastic. it just scrunches tight. My friend who taught me said it holds the heat in and makes it root faster!

do not worry, when it opens I will post a pic for sure!!!

Vancleave, MS(Zone 8b)

Congrats Kell. Can't wait to see the bloom pics.

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

Kell, maybe you can post another pic of the bud. A then (above) and now.

Lima, OH(Zone 5a)

Is this what they mean when they say you are a "late bloomer"??? I have lots of them blooming now, even in the SNOW!! ha

Matthews, MO(Zone 6b)

Can't wait Kell, wish they were a little more heat tolerant.

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

feed it kell!
