      Looking good :blue thumb:

      I don't do cuttings but Mrs Shiney does hundreds of them :doh:. She also collects millions (seems like it) of seeds. Apart from the plants she brings on for sale she's always giving away rooted cuttings and packets of seeds. :)

        @shiney Mrs Shiney obviously enjoys propagating plants. It's nice that she gives some away.
        I often sit on the wall by the little road that goes past the bottom of my garden and give cuttings etc to passers by, and I have also had plants in return :smile: There's nothing that gives me more pleasure than sharing my plants with people :smile:

          A lot of our plants get named after the people who gave them to us. :blue thumb: It works very well because if it dies, even years later, we know who to ask for another one. :)

            If I get a new plant, very often, if its possible, I usually want to propagate it, cuttings or seed.
            That way I end up with too many plants and not enough room.

            I can bet if I dont manage to propagate it, the original will drop dead at the first opportunity.:biggrin:
