I got a couple of prolifs from Vanishing Mist, a new one for me this year so I was happy to see those. A couple on Yellow Monkey, there were a few others from plants I was not interested in collecting. The pro-life so far are rooted and seem happy since I planted them.

I've done putting them in water to root and then planted next to the mother plant. Sometimes they took and other times not. Maybe timing is the key.

Julia - It's often in the 90s here until the middle of October. I think it's been too hot to plant them, and then they don't develop a good enough root system to sustain them through the winter. That's why I'm focusing on developing a better root system before I plant them.

Debra

I usually root them in water then pot them up for a few weeks. I have really good luck with that, rarely lose any.

As always, So Lovely, planted about ten. One on Starstruck, and one we are really hoping for, Child Of Atlantis, though it is so small, we won't be surprised if it doesn't take. These go straight into the ground.

Always good to know which ones your seeing providing a proliferation.

Many intros by Margo Reed and Jim Murphy throw proliferations. ALCHEMIST always throws proliferations. Clements SPIRITUAL HORIZONS always throws proliferations. JELLYFISH JEALOUSY by Margo has a proliferation. Those are the usual suspects every year.

David

I'll have to check Jellyfish Jealousy here. I have a couple of Jim and Margo intros but haven't noticed any but then again, too humid today and more of the same tomorrow.

The scapes I had prolifs on all had seed pods on them. Do any of the rest of you see that trend?

Debra

I see that at least 75%of the time, Debra. Probably more than that, seems that I am more surprised to see one without a pod.

Since I snap off any "bee pods", I haven't seen any. Interesting that you have that occur.

Julia, I’m with you, no prolifs. In fact, I’ve never seen one here. I wonder if it’s a “warm zone” thing

Sherry

Yup , starting to see them now . I have 3 or 4 in a glass of water at the moment . I haven't harvested the ones off of Mad Max......but there are at least 5 on two separate scapes. Bobby Martin put out one but it is a lovely big healthy one !

here is a picture of the prolifs from Mad Max. They are lovely big prolifs

I have only seen one on a seedling that is in an odd spot. We've had a hot dry summer.

I am so excited because I found two on Yellow Monkey tonight (which is a new plant for 2018). I've had the occasional ones through the years but never tried rooting them. Just as a fun experiment they are now in water. I don't know if they have a chance because it's so late in the season and we can get frost and cold temps starting any time. I guess Yellow Monkey really likes to procreate. I see Nancy found some on hers too.

I found one on Purple Maze and put it in water then potted it. It never had them before, but Cosmic Kaleidesope always has them and didn't theis year....go figure.

Found one on Rambunctious Rosie last week. I really don't need another planting of it since I have now just 2. Got rid of a third one I had.

I have never had any luck with them, and wouldn't you know, The one that usually makes them didn't. Purple Maze had one, and I did what Nancy suggested. It is happily growing very well in it's pot now, so I have finally gor one to do right. Thanks, Nancy.

I've already lost one of the Venetian Pools prolifs and the one from Violet Sabrewing. The 95-97 degree temps earlier this week did them in.

Debra

Got a couple more today from Salmon Pagoda and believe it or not ( I have NEVER seen this before ) one on Kwanza .

I just found my first prolif on Magic Dancer today! It’s a late bloomer and in an area with other late bloomers, so, the dried up scapes got ignored. I did snap all of the spent blooms on it, got a prolif anyway. It’s big like Mad Max above. It’s in water to see if it will root, probably won’t survive in the house over the winter, don’t know what I’ll do with it if it roots..........

Sherry

keep it watered from the bottom and in a bright sunny window . (or under a grow light if you have one.

I have collected 12 so far.

I started mine in the window of my sewing room (south window). (No choice...the cats couldn't get to it in there. Then I potted it and left it there for a couple of weeks. It is doing well outside now. I think it is going to make it. First success.

David - right now my Sweet Tart is only 3 fans, but come spring I hope for more. Would be very interested in a trade of a fan of it for one of the prolifs from Jellyfish Jealousy, if you're still looking for Sweet Tart.

Alex

Alex,

I am game for a trade. We will have to talk in the spring.

David

David - sounds good! Will talk to you then.
