More pics will come if successful, Marie. That you can count on. I need to do an updated pic of the graft I did onto a cut off root a while back. It's still doing very well and it's interesting to see how the graft point is changing. Thanks, Otis. These were my first seedlings to germinate and experiment with. I'd trimmed the tap root on their first repotting. When they were about 3 months old I pinched the tops off and they burst out in several branchings. Thanks, Ahmed. All I did was cut the large root off that had some rot, then decided to take the other seedling, cut off one of it's large roots and join them together. My thinking is that all layers of both plants would be joined much like doing a regular grafting on top. I then wrapped it in Parafilm Grafting Tape. I haven't replanted in soil as of yet. I did place it in a plastic container to keep it dry but perhaps keep in the humidity like how people bag the grafts of branches. I'll be keeping a close eye on it. I may only leave it in there for a few short days. I was debating just letting it lay on a shelf or hang it. Fingers crossed all turns out well. Kirk

I guess its the end of the growing season for you, but next year will be the start of an even better growing season. 35f at 9:00 pm is pretty cold for sure. Im still amazed at how big your plants get in that short of a growing season (since some of your plants grow better than those in the sothern states). It must be getting very good care. Wow another one is branching too. You are defiantely going to have alot of flower opportunities once it gets old enough (many late next summer, and if not next summer, then probably the summer after). And you already have one blooming, which is great (and probably pretty cool to see it blooming without any leaves on it!). I counted all the pots I have (not counting the indoor pots) and I have 87 (so its better than 100, and Im only bringing in about 40). Not all those pots are big though (some are just hanging baskets, others im trying to root some cuttings in). I dont know how I ended up with that many, but at least I wont be doing too much buying next year (only if I find something really nice). The weather here has improved over the last day or 2, last night only went down to 64 for a low temp and highs have been in the 70s. The 10 day forecast shows no sign of frost for my area yet, so I still have some time to take all my plants in. My pretty princess plumeria, buds are growing very fast now and im hoping to see some blooms in about 2 weeks. Good luck.

Ria, have you checked out Kodoms recently revived thread entitled 'experimenting with tower form' it may be of interest to you? Gill
