Healthy leafy plant, Don, but what is better - a blooming plant in the North 
in January.

I don't grow this but I have seen it a few times.  It is sold by the common 
name of Goldfinger.  I mention this as some of you may live where plants 
apart from Walmart's selections are sold or may be going to one of the shows 
in the next months so may see Goldfinger.  Listed in my Rix/Phillips 
Conservatory as a shrub.  Please go on.  Does it always bloom in January. If 
so, I will put it on my list.  Any plant that will bloom in January in 
Wisconsin is a winner.

What is that huge bud behind it in the photo?  Is it a bud?  I am interested 
in anything that will look good in January and your plant looks vigorous to 
me.  Under propagation, seed is not listed, stem cuttings are.  Also 
difficult says my prop guide, needs some help with a rooting hormone.
