Mike, and everyone else,

I just took a picture of one of the 2 Camellia cuttings I have been keeping in water since end of last summer and fall and this winter. I just wanted you all to see the growth buds that have stayed green and supple throughout this whole time. They have not moved or gotten any bigger, but they are there.

I now have put each cutting in a 4" pot with a soda bottle dome over it. I have scratched the bark and dipped the end in rooting hormone. Now all I have to do is hold my breath and see if they will actually root and grow. If not--oh well! It is ONLY a plant. It is not like my pet dog died or something. It is a plant!
I don't take gardening all that seriously. I love it, I enjoy it, I am in awe every Spring as to what Mother Nature can do. At this time of year, there is NOTHING in my flower beds. They are flat and bare. You should see them at the end of May! To me that IS the miracle!
I wrote a poem to my Garden one Spring. That is how much I love it.

Yours in gardening, Gita
