okay, here's a couple of pictures.

Thumb of 2012-07-01/pbtxlady/875033 what's left of the original plant. You can see why it's now so unattractive--just one scraggly branch growing out horizontally.


Thumb of 2012-07-01/pbtxlady/24223e three tips left on the scraggly branch


Thumb of 2012-07-01/pbtxlady/442eb7 the right cutting has been drying and I'll stick it this week. I just pulled the left one out of water and cut off leaves. I think it will be fine. Should I also cut off the inflorescence and the tiny leaves on the tips?

Another question. Since the original plant now looks so scraggly, and it's pretty big and unwieldy in that pot as well--what would happen if I cut it a foot or so below last year's Y, and made more cuttings? Would I essentially be starting over, or would the original plant resume growing and branch off from the cut? I don't mind waiting for blooms, but I can't really say I wanna wait another 4 years.
