Now This is one is so pretty but I cannot tell you what it is called.


What I can tell you is this:

Rooting Powder is amazing stuff.

I had to leave the mother plant at my house in Bellingen and that was sad, so I got some rooting powder and chopped off some branches and dipped them in the powder and voila they rooted!  sounds gross I know.  Your mind not mine, this powder is also called Hormone Powder.  It causes the plant to form roots – How? I'm not sure but it works. 

So this photograph was taken  a year later and this plant is thriving!
Rooting powder is most certainly extremely helpful in starting plants from other parent plants.  Recently I started a Rosemary cutting in the same fashion.
