Cold = anything under 73. But for plants, when it starts going below 40 at night, it's time to bring them in. Been close, but hasn't happened yet. Yes, looks like buds are forming on many of the tips. Just took these pics of some of them. Cute little "I think I can" cutting: This one won't change colors (the foliage) but has some buds: This is really purple in person but look red in pics, I think you jinxed the pics, Toni! LOL J/K!: An example of how some just won't change foliage colors, I guess. They're in the same spot, in the same pot. Also more purple in person: This strange little cutting keeps making smaller and smaller leaves. It's the only one like it, many cuttings around in various places, though in the pic above, you can see the 'purple' plant just has smaller foliage. This cutting probably came from that plant, though I don't remember for sure by now.: Uploaded with ImageShack.com

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments. Lisa - interesting to hear about all your grexes. This individual plant varied a lot in appearance over a period of just a few months depending on which leaves were most obvious and how much white they had, so I can only imagine how much overlap there could be between a bunch of similar grexes with variable progeny! The first pup that I took off this one (just yesterday) is almost completely white, with just a few contrasting green lines on each leaf. Quite spectacular - hopefully it will have enough chlorophyll distributed through the white areas to keep it healthy, as some of these concentrica crosses are said to have. I'll keep my fingers crossed. And great advice as always - much appreciated. I will do as you suggest with the naming. Cheers, Paul

Oh my. Snow still Edward? Avedon, I do not have Napoleon, but it is one that I need. Oddly enough, while I majored in math in college, I minored in history, and I especially loved (and took several courses in The French Revolution and Napoleon). I know, wound up an RN, but that's a whole 'nother story. Anyway, I am very happy with the way Chinas grow here. That is a nice plant for the Rose's feet, and Belinda finally woke up and started blooming here too. It never fails...I should never have allowed them in the new rose areas since he appeared to have erased Omoshira...I planted it deep, however, so it will probably reemerge. I am glad that alsomst all of us seem to be having decent weather. kay
