dumb me

You'll never guess what I did today...trying to be kind to a new Bruggie in the Mississippi area. I was trying to find an area on my Shredded White to give this lady and by mistake cut the cane that held the Biloxi Belle and Shredded White seed pod. I was so upset with my self.#*$@
I took the cane and put it into some damp sphagnum moss.... lets hope it roots....the pod is about 2 inches long.

Bummer,I did a stupid thing,not to a brug but to a rhody.I wanted to cut the dead area out(I got it at HD for 3 bucks)Well,I got out my big loppers and whosh,I cut off the good part
Am I an idiot or what?
Trying to root peices of it
I'll never do it........

Glory, I did the same thing!!! Cut off a limb holding my candida double white x butterfly pod. it didn't make it. I hope yours does!! and cc, you can do it!

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

Oh my! I'm going to be very careful with my clippers.So sorry Glory,CC and tiG for your clipper mishaps.

Oh so sorry Glory. Hopefully you can save it. Will keep fingers crossed.

Vancleave, MS(Zone 8b)

Oh no Gloria. I am so sorry.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

I did the same thing Glory a few weeks ago. It had gotten dark and I decided as my last chore, to get a couple of cuttings to plant up for Owen and went over to my DW and reached in and cut off a limb. I took it back to the work table and 2 of my big pods hung from the bottom where I cut it. After kicking myself I put it in water and it is still alive and the pods are still green. I killed Owen though!

Gloria, I really hope it continues growing for you. I can just imagine how frustrating that feeling would be but as you can read, you are not alone.

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Yeah, Glory, you are definitely not dumb. Dumb is when I planted some cuttings you gave me upside down. So, Glory, you have TWO new cars, eh? Just couldn't make up your mind?

Matthews, MO(Zone 6b)

Ok Roz so do tell, what happened to the upside down cuttings, did they grow datura blooms.......

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Oh, so THAT'S how they get the daturas!

Roz and Tracey,

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has done this...it really makes you think you have really lost it.
LOL

Kell,
How's the GH holding up?

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Hi Glory! I am in a tizz about it. LOL I am never happy! I want to add heat in case we have a freeze but am afraid to put in a little space heater for it is so very wet in there, drips water from ceiling. But I guess from what people say it is safe. I sure hope so.

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Wear tennis shoes, Kell.

Roz...be good. LOL

Kell,
Can't help with that problem...I heat with propane gas.

Kell,
Living by Roz is a real treat...ya never know what she is going to do next. LOL
I'll tell ya right now Roz is the kindess and funniest lady you will ever meet. Roz and I were born in the same part of Biloxi but never knew each other as kids...she went to public and I to Catholic school....I met Roz on Daves.

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Glory, what a nice and sweet thing to say. Why in the world are you up so early?

Roz,
Just couldn't sleep.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

She has become very dear to me also! Her quick wit should be bottled and sold. Gosh, can you imagine the nuns trying to deal with her? LOL
