tee hee.
Just what I had on my mind and no more really. I agree the fat stems are better for cuttings. The skinny tips on mine all withered over winter last winter. I think they are just too tender. Attached is photo of the now huge pink one which I think is the one you gave me as Rose Souvelons. I'm pretty positive thats the only pink I've ever acquired. It's been blooming a couple and up to a dozen any given day for the last couple weeks. Constant buds. Five feet of new stems on it this summer!


I feel sure those things on the Oxalis are a water storage tuber. The big question is do they sprout on their own, or do they lack any kind of budding cells that allow that?
