roseseek(9)Updated You're welcome, Lyna! Yes ma'am, each one HAS its own personality. It's observing them then determining what other "personalities" you want to mate them to that's part of the fun of breeding. If your cuttings are rotting...

monarda_gwUpdated That's good news. I made some for my cousin in the country, but accidentally made them too small in diameter. Will go ahead and make some more and bigger ones -- also a castor oil spray for the voles. It's a veritable plague.
