In Farsi, we call this Khar Zahre (poison of the donkey), I have no idea why. It's Oleander in English and it comes in different colors. We have them everywhere in south of France. Just like in the south of Iran where I was born.
Picked up a broken branch from the street last spring and put it into a pot.
It rooted and this year it's blooming. I really like it.
I want to do the same with the white and the red ones as well.

I'm #propagating Grace Ward #lithodora & yellow #sedum #stonecrop #plants #cuttings 
On Tuesday, I lose my beloved #plum tree. 
I’m going to take some #cuttings even though it’s not ideal as it’s not winter yet. I still have to try for my very very sore heart.
I have sand, potting mix, perlite, rooting hormone… sharp shears. I’d like to try 4-6 cuttings since there’s no second chance. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cuts to make? Stripping bark off bottom?

#Saanich & #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland area people - if you're doing #willow or #bamboo #pruning this Spring - I'd like to take #cuttings that you don't want. I want to use willow for weaving; same with bamboo. I also want to use some thicker cut bamboo as garden stakes. I also will take invasive dead Scotch broom & dead daphne stalks & branches - I weave & make natural paper from them.
I did both
