took cuttings a few weeks ago and stuck them in water. I'm seeing new leaves, but no roots. Should I be doing something different?

Shoot, gingin - I'm not even sure what a chalice vine *is*..... gonna go look it up in Propagation Book.

Here's what Top Tropicals sez, assuming it's the same plant?:

Propagation: Cup of gold usually is propagated from stem cuttings taken in summer and rooted with bottom heat.

Gin , that is a very interesting plant! How long have you been growing it?

Janice...I got my plant at the Florala swap I *think* either fall 2009 or spring 2010. It had buds last winter in my GH, but we got a hard freeze and my heaters didn't keep up so they dropped I cut it back this fall before putting it in the GH (a wild child needing a haircut) It now has 7-10 buds so I'm really hopeing for blooms, but sadly the weather guessers are calling for a freeze warning tonight. If they hang on and bloom I'll post pics.

Sounds great, Gin!

IOWs, put it in soil and allow it to root with a heat mat or some other heat source.

OK thanks

I remember getting cuttings of this plant years ago, we just called it Chalice Flower, a bit of a sprawling but not out of control vine. It was pretty easy to strike. If you're having problems it's more likely the fact you're running into cold weather than anything else. And I'd agree with putting it in soil now and not leaving it in water.

I have a bloom two more buds should open in a few days.

Wow, very striking! Is it scented?

I'm told it smells like coconut...haven't noticed yet, but then it just opened yesterday and I probably haven't been in the GH at the right time. Today it has taken on it's golden color. Probably should have waited on the pic, but didn't want to risk it dropping.

You could always take another....

I did today, but have not dumped it onto the computer yet. It is so golden now and I'm getting a yummy scent.

Okay, I'm patient, lol...

OK Sheryl...your wait is over. The whole bloom was taken on day 5. Looking down inside was taken on day 3.

Wow, that's a pretty dramatic change, isn't it?

Very much so. I'm so happy that I got to see it bloom and get pictures...my GH is looking SAD today after last night's hard freeze.

Ugh - it zapped you, did it? I'm so sorry.
