thanks lilli, now all i have to do is wait 'til it produces seeds. there's only one left of the 6 (brought appox. 20 in our move from north to socal) that i want to propagate. the maples all have a very difficult time here, and they don't always produce flowers in the spring. plus, there's been a decline of honeybees (so
@iciris suggested i act like one
). i am taking barbara's advice if they bloom. thought i would try (to act thusly as a bee) with one of my sable watercolor brushes.
