Your plant is a tender perennial, but not hardy in your climate where it is treated like a annual. It won't appreciate the transition to the inside at all, but cuttings are easy to root if you know some basics (don't root in water) . Cuttings grown under plant lights will probably do ok over the winter. All in all.....it's probably best to purchase new plants in the spring....for most folks.

You are probably right, Eric. Though the observed symptoms mimiced anaphalatic shock, perhaps she wasn't headed there at all. Or perhaps she was rescued before she reached the full shock stage. My husband learned take Ledum EARLY, because if the hives reaction "implanted" itself, it would have to run its course, though the course would be a more gentle one than if he hadn't taken the Ledum I'm sorry you know about AS first hand. It must have been a horribly frightening feeling when it happened, not being able to breathe and not knowing if you were going to make it to ER in time! Kalia, I checked the indications list for apis. It is not suggested for hives but it is suggested for a sea granular, or nettle rash, and for a host of other conditions. Some of them include the very early skin sensations that seem to precede hives, so it might also be a good header-offer remedy. As it happens, I found apis in our medicine chest recently, and couldn't remember what we bought it for. (I probably need to organize all my blue tubes and label them in plain English, so I don't have to go though that every time I find one.) Now I see that we probably bought it for one of hub's extreme reactions to a visible insect bite. In the early 20th century, Einstein had a running debate with Neils Bohr, one of the early fathers of quantum mechanics. What Einstein hated most about QM was not, as has been said, that it meant that "God was playing dice with the universe", but that it represented a universe that could not be observed. That drove him crazy, but even he would come to admit that Quantum Mechanics could be a valuable tool in subatomic research.. That's about how I feel about Homeopathy. By all lights of rationalist science, nothing in our observable universe says it should work. But because it does in our household, I have adopted the 'valuable tool' approach, and it is now my first go-to for our everyday ailments. Jan

I grew several white bacopa plants from seeds that I purchased from the local big box store. I'd like to try and harvest some seeds from them to start for next year. They are flowering well, old flowers have dried up, but I don't see any evidence of seeds. Anybody help? What am I looking for in the dried-up flowers?
