Tammie,
If you look closely at the cuttings in the back row you can just make out that the cultivar name is written on the cuttings, they are Celadine just as Clare said. The other cultivar is Slaughter Pink. And two seedlings are of Celadine and one of Slaughter Pink or visa versa.
Malestrom,
As I noted in my post I am going to have them on a full sun, southern facing concrete slab that will be covered with black plastic to heat the concrete up even more. Plus I will have them on a temperature controlled heat mat. I can bump the temp up to over 100 degrees if needed. But I think between the heat collected by the concrete slab and the Heat Mat set to keep the soil at 80 - 85 degrees mid way of the pot they will be ok. That is where the temp control probe will be placed, so the very bottom of the pot will probably be 90 degrees or more.
The picture angle is a little deceiving on the pot size too. They are in one gallon pots, if I put them in anything smaller it would have to be 6 - 8 inch pots and they would tip over from the cuttings being so large. Some of the cuttings are about 2 feet or more in length. I also have them in a very well draining mix. But I do appreciate your concern and input though.
Clare,
It is good to know that Celadine is one of the easier to root cultivars. It is always good for a newbie to have a positive experience the first time around, no matter what plant species they are trying for the first time. I also appreciate the article you wrote and the information you provided in response to my questions the other day, it has and will be a tremendous help. The two Slaughter Pink cuttings have inflo's at the tip. So we will see if they hang on and go on to bloom after they root. Having positive thoughts here. :)
Thanks everyone, and Malestrom, I will be keeping you'll posted on how they do. I am so excited to try my hand at these plants.
David
