I would love to have Black Knight....Please send me your snail addy, and I will get postage out to you asap....Let me know how much...

Rikerbear, how long did it take for the cuttings to root? Did you use root hormone and stick them in dirt or what?
I would like the pink if you have any left or wouldn't mind some of both. Greedy aren't I?

I would like a pink if one is still available. Would you like cuttings from my Teller Blue hydrangea (see pic in other thread) or a clerodendrum? I have Texas Star hibiscus seeds also. LMK Jenny

I would also like a black knight if you root more, what is your method for rooting them.

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

I tried all winter to get cuttings to root in the house. I managed to kill dozens.
Spring arrived and my bushes started putting on new growth. While pruning them for shape I just started putting some of the clippings directly in the ground (no hormone used). Shade/indirect sun, and moist soil. I used 6 to 8 inch cuttings....stripped off the lower leaves and burried them with at least two leaf joints under the soil. 6 weeks later I now have 1/2 inch roots.

Hope this helps.................

Rikerbear, right now my funds are at rock bottom so if you need to get those cuttings to someone else I'll understand. I'm sorry I've just come up on a very hard time financially. Thanks you for remembering me though. You are a sweetheart. By the way how are the bulbs doing I sent you?

Hugs

The bulbs did awesome Tina!, Such pretty clusters, of cream flowers with a lovely orange trumpet.
I'm starting more cuttings, so will rotate your name to the wait list for one of those..............
Take care of yourself lady....and my thoughts are with you.
Hope your finacial woes work out for you....just remember it's only money :-)

Moretz, at this point I do believe you and I are 'even'...so yes postage would be appreciated.... $3.85 priority mail.
I have spent FAR to much monies (thanks to the addiction of Dave's LOL ) on trades and SASEs'.
If I am wrong do please let me know....lord knows I've made mistakes before.

No hurry on the monies, as I still want to wait a couple weeks yet before sending them....I want them to get a bit more root mass first.
Thanks Moretz.....I'm agreeable to another trade down the line. Got enough going on right now myself :-)

Just wanted everyone waiting for a BB baby not to give up on me.....I have been away from the garden for a few days dealing with a medical emergency of my partners.
Life is finally beginning to settle so I should be able to start shipping these BB's early next week.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sandy, please rty to find one elsewhere if you can.....I am a bit over my head with projects and trades right now to take on naymore. Hope you understand :-)

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

After an extended bought with health issues (not mine, my partners')
I am again able to spend some time on the garden and on my trades.
I am working on getting a least some of the BB starts out this week.
I've lost a few, as I was not able to watch them as closely and water them as needed.
I believe I have enough yet to finish the current trades.
I will let each of you know via personal email later this week as to when yours will go out.
Thank you for being patient, but I have had little choice in how my time has been spent.
