Mike, The "babies" are cuttings I started last year and some the year before that never got potted up. I am certain I will take more cuttings in June, even though I whine about not having enough space, some of my older epies really need to be trimmed and re-potted. I have found that starting them in little plastic cups ( think small translucent solo cups) works really well for me. Now of course, they need to come out of their little cups and be potted into regular pots. I will pot a few directly into hanging baskets as well.
We have had very little cold weather this winter and the next 2 weeks is forecasted to be in the 60's with the coolest night only going to 40°. It is bright and sunny, so you can see why I am "itchy" to pull them out of their winter rest.
I have put quite a few varieties on a wish list this winter, so anything I can do to make room for them is definitely a plus. I just can never seem to say I have enough now. LOL There's got to be room for 1 more.
Water lilies are so beautiful. Enjoy it.
