Re: Jim's new picture links

I didn't answer your question very well. Sorry, Kitty. With begonias, parts of leaves work very well.
Just make sure you've got a main leaf rib buried.

Jim is a wiz at propagation and since he can do it year round, it makes
sense to have an installed propagation bed. Here I have to do temporary,
makeshift things, so containerized propagation makes more sense.
Nice pics, Jim. I've been meaning to prop some begonia leaf cuttings, but I
was going to do it with parts of leaves. How were yours done?

For your viewing pleasures, Island Jim has sent over three of his new
plants pictures. You can find them here:

They are the first three entries on the page, also dated 7-11-04.

Love the variegated taro... looks like a keeper, too bad not hardy here.

Is that ginger variegated on the leaf tips? Suppose that's not hardy
here either:(
