hi katie, i'm sorry to hear that. actually, there was one glass of cuttings that i had that has been sitting there for 2 months now and no roots. i used a bubbler on them for couple weeks then took the bubbler out to use on my new cuttings. so they have been sitting w/o bubbler for a month now. they are type 2 ramonas, 2 or 3 cuttings out of that group crisped up so i threw them away, but the rest are still green.. and i am still waiting.. i am wondering whether the type of cuttings i take or the number of leaves i leave on each cutting make a difference.. so far my theory is that you should leave no more than 2-3 leaves per cutting and that the cuttings you take shouldn't be too wimpy.. the ramona cuttings were woody cuttings from this year's growth, but they very recently turned woody and the stems are still quite thin. the best ones seem to be thicker stems and when i've cut them right at a node.. but as for your cuttings, i'd say keep waiting.. btw, what clematis are you trying to root?

Hi all, My pkg. from Carol was waiting for me when I came home today: ) I It was filled with all kinds of good stuff! She sent me a wonderful 10 iris assortment. a White Japanese Yellow Flag Honey Glazed Superstition a pretty purple a red Beverly Sills a light blue heirloom Arctic Snow and Champagne Along with all the iris she sent a couple of frogs(figurines not live ones, lol) a bathsoap set a lavendar/vanilla candle a dog magnet- my husband already put it on the fridge. and a flag pin- she must of remembered I collect pins! oh and the hat! I told my husband he has to take my picture. Thanks Carol for such a great box! I did get all the iris potted tonight, so I happy about that. My husband even asked what he has to do after the operation for all the plants. It is very sweet of him, but very funny. I'm thinking don't you notice me dragging the hose around after work? lol. It is a very simple procedure. Sue/GiverNY4me, I'm glad I'm not boring you: ) I looked up Felder Rushing. He sounds like an interesting guy. I drove out to Rochester alone to the big garden show there, but I specifically went when Brent of Brent and Becky's bulbs was speaking. So I find it perfectly normal for you to go see Rushing: ) You'll have to let us know how it was after you go. You know I was thinking for all the people in this group with heath problems we should of called ourselves the Old Broke Down Buddies or something lol. Remy

The heat pretty much stopped mine from producing as well. I did get a LOT out of them before that though. I have started pulling my plants and am getting ready to work the ground and get ready for the fall crop of tomatoes. Will add mulch/compost and a brand new drip irrigation system. That should hopefully keep them going through August.

Thank goodness this was posted. The stupid key change was driving me crazy on my ipad. Updated it, problem gone. Thanks for telling us about the update, blubird!
