Just so you know - I am a very big proponent of propagation. I like to see the little bits grow, To keep or give away.

I was amazed at the vigor of my daphne cuttings. I bought three very small daphnes last fall and they now have about 4 flowers each! I could not resist cutting one to bring in for a little vase on my kitchen window sill. After the flowers had fallen off, I stuck it in a tiny pot under my shop lights. It did so well, I had to do another one. And I expect since the 'mothers' are putting out nice green growth where I took the cuttings, I will do several more.

WOW - look at this! This is about two weeks growth.
