I have a butterfly vine that I have taken a lot of cuttings from and they are in the greenhouse at this time, but are small cuttings. As soon as they get a bit larger and are better rooted you are welcome to several. The one I have is yellow and in the fall the seed pods are 3 in a cluster that look like butterfies on the vine. E-mail me personally and we'll make arrangements.

Dayflower, how do you root your cuttings. Are they taken from the newest growth? I have this vine and would like to start some rooted cuttings. So far, I have had no luck.
