I think when a subject starts to take on a life of its own, it's time to
pull the plug.  People are talking to hear themselves talk.

We need some dialog about PLANT propagation.  I haven't seen anything on
here for weeks that bears any relevance to what we're signed on to this list
for.  Spring has sprung--at least in some places.  A lot of us are in our
gardens from dusk to dawn, and surely somebody has faced a propagating
question that needed an answer, or everybody except me must already be an
expert.  For example, does everyone know all there is about taking snips off
of the flowering almond and getting it to root, or propagating azaleas and
camelias. We could all stand to learn something about duplicating some of
the beautiful shrubs and bushes we see in other people's yards this time of
year that cost a fortune when we price them in the garden centers.  

Let's talk, people.
