Well hello everyone! First, I would like to offer my most sincere apologies for the belated response to all these wonderful notes. I did not realize that this article got published and now that it has I am so happy with all the kind and thoughtful replies. THANK YOU!
To virginiarose or to anyone else interested in getting this plant, I will VERY happily root some cuttings for you. I now have three large specimens of this beautiful plant and though I pruned not so long ago, I can see an opportunity for another trim. I will get a bunch of them started and those that want one, send me a note and I will work on getting you one. Bear in mind though that this may not be until spring as I would hate to have your plant die due to freezing. This will give each plant I start plenty of time to develop a healthy root system and then come spring, I will mail them out to all that want them.
Here is to yet another reason to look forward to spring!
I was just downstairs opening all the blinds as part of my morning ritual and noticed the start I placed in the same pot containing a scented geranium has started to bloom. The friendly purple flowers were poking out and made me smile as you all make me smile. Your compliments and words mean so much to me and I love that so many not only read the article but also enjoyed it.
Thank you again and I wish you all the best of everything.
Blessings,
Benny
