plant gambles

All the chances and experiments I take with plants, only some work out. I tried germinating Orange seed a month ago, and only got mold. Tried growing some Redwood seed bought as a novelty many years ago when visiting California, that didn't work either.

But happily, the Croton is growing back with vivid green leaves, and I still have one leaf growing roots in water.

I took encouragement from that, and today took cuttings of my pink rex Begonia Coleus.

The plant was starting to look shabby, with lower foliage dying and since the newer growth looks healthy I decided to take cuttings of that and try to start over.
