Re: Queen's wreath

Good idea, Jim. I'm going to try ground layering as soon as it warms up enough to pique my interest in going out, but I'll try pollinating a few flowers at the same time--both by hand and with a shot of tomato/pepper set [a little gib might do it good].

For those, like me, mired in crappy weather at the moment, our Petrea continues to bloom. Makes it almost pleasant to go outside for a look. Here's an old picture: http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/14176/ Wonderful vine, but I can't figure out how to propagate it--I've tried cuttings three or four times and it doesn't appear to set seed. Maybe I need to try air-layering it.

And you've tried self-pollinating it with a camel's-hair brush ?
Self-sterile then ?
