i trimmed the daughters off of my most prolific mother, leaving her looking a little bereft (top picture) (i can't figure out how to disperse my pictures throughout the blog. mary, help!). i saw a single lady bug in there walking around and around in a circle, wringing her tiny little hands.
then i put them in the little rooting jar. you can see the tiny sweet roots in the bottom picture. by the way, if you look in the background and see the fuzzy looking white thing, i put it up to have a light colored background so you could see that the shorn mother still has some little daughters coming along. i laid it over the top of the my plant light, took the pictures, wandered off, and a half hour later started wondering what smelled like burning. now i can't clean my floor. darn.
and by the way, my daughter is having a daughter some time in the next ten days.
