I thought the top cut never rooted, but I just didn't get around to moving it until this week. I checked closely before tossing it for good, and sure enough there was a leaf beginning to sprout from deep in the center. Good times!<br /><br />I haven't taken the bucket off my gunnera yet. I will give it a few more weeks.JeffBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-23972701542741770602011-02-12T10:24:11.017-08:002011-02-12T10:24:11.017-08:00Darla, I like burlap because it blends into the la...Darla, I like burlap because it blends into the landscape...there are usually leaves and/or bubble wrap involved too.<br /><br />Grace, "knock on wood" indeed.

It's so heartening to see these old friends return! As unexcited as I am about the broom family, your Genista sounds like one to have.
