Half a dozen roses

[nandana]

So I put the flowers in a vase.




The flowers die in a week, but new leaves appear on the stem. I ignore the first few sprouts. Then when every stem has tiny green leaves I give in and look for old pots and soil.




But then I am not sure how to plant the stems. The bottoms of the stems look unhealthy, but surely they have a better chance of sprouting roots. The top halves have the new leaves and look young, perhaps a bit too young.I diversify my risks and cut them all up into two, sometimes three pieces and stick into soil.




Potpourri-to-be




Here they are.
